Pervis Estupinan joined AC Milan from Brighton last summer Pervis Estupinan's powerful strike earned AC Milan derby honours as they edged city rivals Inter to reduce the gap on the Serie A leaders to seven points. The Italian title race had appeared to be over with Inter going into this game 10 points clear at the top. However, Milan have given themselves a glimmer of hope with 10 games remaining after this win - the second time they have beaten Inter this season. Estupinan got the decisive goal 10 minutes before half-time when he was picked out by a fantastic ball from Youssouf Fofana and then thumped a fine strike home. The goal came just after Inter had missed a golden chance to take the lead when Henrikh Mkhitaryan raced from midfield into the box but fired straight at the goalkeeper. Milan started the second half well as Fofana was denied the chance to double the lead when his effort was saved, but Inter full-back Federico Dimarco missed a fantastic opportunity to equalise when he was picked out in a good position in the box, but drove over. Inter piled on the pressure in the final few minutes but Milan held firm to secure a big win. The result ended Inter's run of eight successive victories, while it was their first defeat since losing to Milan in the league back in November.
