Inter Milan secures 20th Serie A title with victory over AC Milan in dramatic derby match

Inter Milan have been confirmed the 2023/24 Seria A winner after a convincing win over arch-rivals AC Milan. The Nerazzurri in the process clinched their 20th Serie A title.

Heading into the match as favourite, it took Inter Milan only 18 minutes to take the lead. Francesco Acerbi took advantage of some lax Milan defending to head the Nerazzurri into the lead.

After spurning several chances to double their advantage, Inter finally grabbed a deserved second through Marcus Thuram’s 49th-minute effort.

AC Milan fought back and Fikayo Tomori pulled a goal back in the closing stages to set up a nervy finish before tensions spilt over in stoppage time as Theo Hernandez, Denzel Dumfries and Davide Calabria saw red.

Hernandez and Dumfries received their marching orders for their involvement in a melee, before Calabria saw red for striking Davide Frattesi in the face.

Inter saw out the remaining moments to clinch a famous derby win and seal their first Scudetto since the 2020-21 season.

Simone Inzaghi in the process won his first Serie A title as manager, adding to the three Coppa Italia trophies and five Italian Super Cups he has already won during his coaching career.
