"Estupinan smashed the ball into the net leaving Yann Sommer surprised and frozen. Allegri's tactical tweaks taking advantage of the wide areas - occupied by Luis Henrique especially - paid off. The gap to first place and Inter was reduced to seven points."
"The midfield needs to be tweaked to accommodate for the suspension but thankfully two capable players are available. Ricci or Jashari will start in Rabiot's place. De Winter in particular has grown a lot and looks more than capable of being a starter in Gabbia's absence."
"Milan now lead the Serie A in fewest goals allowed with 20. Loftus-Cheek will need few more weeks to recover from the jaw fracture but Gabbia could be ready to return later this month or perhaps after the international break."
Milan secured a derby victory over Inter with Estupinan scoring an unexpected goal that caught goalkeeper Yann Sommer off guard. Allegri's tactical adjustments exploiting wide areas, particularly through Luis Henrique, proved effective. The win narrows the gap to Inter to seven points, though Inter's scudetto push remains strong. Milan faces squad challenges with Rabiot suspended after receiving a yellow card in the derby, requiring midfield adjustments with Ricci or Jashari as replacements. Key defenders De Winter, Tomori, and Pavlovic have performed well, contributing to Milan's league-leading defensive record of 20 goals conceded. Injuries to Loftus-Cheek and Gabbia persist, though Gabbia may return later in the month. Pulisic and Leao, despite appearing below full fitness, are expected to start.
