The Milan derby ends in defeat for Inter, with Milan winning 3-1 on matchday 10 of Serie A. It is a costly setback for the Nerazzurri, who suffer their first league defeat and fail to protect their position in the direct clash.

The match takes a clear turn in the first half, which ends 3-1. Pulisic, Rabiot and Moreira score for Milan, while Bastoni gets Inter's goal. The Nerazzurri try to get back into the contest, but the comeback never materializes and the derby belongs to the Rossoneri.

Inter remain second on 25 points from ten matches, with eight wins, one draw and one defeat, plus 26 goals scored and 13 conceded. Lazio lead on 25 points, while Roma follow on 24. Milan move into fourth place with 21 points, four behind Inter; Como are fifth on 20.

Inter must now respond immediately: their next fixture is in the Champions League, away to Feyenoord on Tuesday, November 3, at 9 p.m. The derby leaves the table open, but demands a quick reaction.
