 Inter Milan Wins 20th Serie A Title

0

Inter Milan has won the Serie A title, after defeating AC Milan 2-1 and creating an unassailable lead at the top of the league.

Goals from Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram gave Inter a 17-point advantage over closest challengers Milan and secured their 20th league crown with five matches of the season remaining.

Before Inter’s title win was confirmed, tensions boiled over at the San Siro with three red cards shown in stoppage time as Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria were sent off for AC Milan, while Denzel Dumfries was dismissed for Inter.

But the late aggravation could not spoil Inter’s celebrations as Inzagi claimed his first league title as a head coach.

Inter took an 18th-minute lead through Acerbi’s goal and then four minutes into the second half Thuram placed a low shot to double the lead.

Milan started a late comeback with Tomori reducing the deficit in the 80th minute from a rebound but they could not find an equaliser to delay their rivals’ joy.
