Play by play
Paul Ince post game: "I thought Inter played as a team." Opinions also being expressed that Alberto Aquilani was missed for Milan, tonight. It's a bad result for them, and Inter are now just five points behind second-placed AC Milan in fifth place. Juventus still top the table with a one point advantage over Milan.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic failed to impress in another big game...
Milan showed that, despite having the vast majority of possession, they lacked the initiative to break Inter down and, for all of their talent, lacked a coherent style of play tonight.
Inter can now truly consider themselves to be back in the Serie A title race. That's a superb result for them and what a clinical, efficient performance it was from them.

Milan now committing men forward but Inter are still getting their tactics right (how often do you get to say that about one of Ranieri's sides?) and remain disciplined, keeping their shape.

Inter win possession on the edge of the box and look to break but Milan instantly recover possession...

Good saave from Caeser! Seedorf's shot from distance stinging the 'keeper's gloves

The lack of invention and movement from Ibrahimovic up front has been pretty damning for someone thought by many to be one of the world's best.
- 81'
Milan again spreading possession but Inter are holding their shape well and not leaving any openings.

Good tackle from Emmanuelson at left-back. Inter now enjoying possession in Milan's half - it's not unthinkable that they'll score another.
- 79'
Inter win the corner. Maicon to take as Seedorf looks to be ready to come on.

Pato can't connect with the ball properly and a great chance was wasted! That should have been a simple tap in for the Brazilian.
- 76'
Inter are now likely to play a 4-4-1-1 in a bid to close out the victory, with Pazzini the lone striker.
