AC Milan won the derby last night at the San Siro stadium. Allegri's team came out on top with a 1-0 result and overtook Chivu's squad in the Serie A standings.

Who was the man of the match in Inter - Milan?
The man of the match in the derby was definitely Mike Maignan who made some really important saves, including Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty. His rating was deservedly set at 8 by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
Adrien Rabiot was indeed a "wild horse" in midfield as Allegri and fans like to describe. He worked very well in both phases. His rating was set at 7.5 same as Christian Pulisic who scored the only goal of the match. The American reacted quickly thanks to his positioning and speed to reach the ball before Akanji after Sommer failed to properly save Saelemaekers' shot.
Speaking of Alexis Saelemaekers, he did very well in attack as well as defence, and earned himself a rating set at 7, same as teammates Matteo Gabbia, Youssouf Fofana, and Luka Modric.
AC Milan's duo, on the other hand, Fikayo Tomori and Rafael Leao, could have done better and were only shown ratings set at 6.5. Davide Bartesaghi, the AC Milan youth academy product who started the derby for the first time, was also granted the same rating.
Midfielder Samuele Ricci and Christopher Nkunku, however, were rated 6 and 5.5 respectively for their efforts.
Who was the worst player in AC Milan's lineup in the derby versus Inter?
Strahinja Pavlovic did not deliver his best performance last night as he was behind the penalty granted to Inter, which was eventually saved by Mike Maignan. He was chosen as the worst player in AC Milan's lineup last night in the derby. His rating was set at 5.5. The worst player of the match, however, was Hakan Calhanoglu who missed the penalty and did not make the desired impact for Inter fans. The Turkish player's rating was set at 4.5 by Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
