Christian Eriksen once again weaved his magic on Sunday and scored a stunning equalizer for Inter Milan. He fired home from outside the box to rescue a valuable point for the Nerazzurri.

Just as he's done on a couple of occasions, the Danish playmaker stepped up to the plate and demonstrated his talismanic qualities in yet another big game.


Flop: Matteo Darmian (Inter Milan)

Not the best night for Matteo Darmian

With Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez struggling to make an impact, the pressure was really on the wing-backs to overlap and create some chances from the flanks. However, Inter Milan left a lot to be desired in that regard.

Matteo Darmian, in particular, looked isolated for much of the game. He made a few runs, but nothing meaningful came of them. He also went into the books for a poor challenge on Kalidou Koulibaly.


Hit: Matteo Politano (Napoli)

Currently on loan at Napoli from Inter Milan, Matteo Politano delivered a statement performance against his parent club, even hitting the post with one of his efforts.

The winger troubled Inter Milan's defense with his prolific dribbling and linked up well with his fellow attackers while threading some incisive through-balls.
