Flop: Krzysztof Piatek

The Polish international, signed from Genoa in January, had whipped up a frenzy in San Siro following a barnstorming start to life at Milan: seven goals in his first five appearances in all competitions, including an incredible brace to dump Napoli from the Coppa Italia.

Naturally, the bookies would've expected him to plunder a goal or two in his first Milan derby, but far from scoring, Piatek was virtually non-existent.

In what's rightfully his poorest outing with the Rossoneri to date, the Pole was completely phased out by a vigilante Inter defense and also starved of service. He made only 17 touches on the ball - the lowest among any player on the pitch and the only effort he could muster at goal blew harmlessly off target.

Piatek's indecisiveness forced Milan to look for goals elsewhere as scoring from open play became a hard task. His only positive of the night is a key pass, but that's trifling when you consider the bigger picture.
