AC Milan might feel they could have done better against Inter Milan. The Rossoneri had 60% possession in the game but failed to make that count, as they could not create anything substantial high up the pitch.

The hosts failed to convert their chances in the first half as well, with Zlatan Ibrahimovich cutting a frustrated figure up front. Milan were duly punished for their profligacy, as Antonio Conte's men demolished them in the second half.
