"The derby was won with a relatively healthy squad featuring both Leao and Pulisic on the pitch together. Possession means less and less in today's football and it was Inter who had most of the ball to little effect. The game finished 1-0 and the sole goal came from a counter which the hard working and increasingly important Saelemaekers used well, his curved ball into the box"
"was so that Yann Sommer could only get a hand to the ball and present it to the on rushing Pulisic. A penalty given threatened to derail the win but Maignan further solidified his Magic Mike nickname but fooling Calhanoglu and saving the shut out win. More can be said about the penalty, refereeing and VAR but it remains clear that football rules and their application are very much broken and inconsistent."
Milan won the derby 1-0; the goal came from a counter after Saelemaekers' curved ball into the box left Yann Sommer able only to get a hand on it and present it to Pulisic. Maignan saved a penalty, reinforcing his 'Magic Mike' nickname and preserving the clean sheet. Inter held more possession but created little. Lazio sit eighth with 15 goals from 12 Serie A matches and will miss Danilo Cataldi and Nicolo Rovella. Pulisic will likely miss the next match with a minor training knock; Nkunku or Loftus-Cheek should start alongside Leao. The back three are expected to be Tomor, Gabbia and Pavlovic with Maignan in goal. A Coppa Italia rematch follows in Rome five days later. Maignan's Bosman status casts doubt on his future at the club.
