Milan reality Dzek as Inter take control

PREMIER LEAGUE old boys Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were Inter Milan’s heroes to leave rivals AC Milan needing a Liverpool-style comeback to return to Istanbul.

AC MILAN 0

INTER MILAN 2

This mad Milan derby was a million miles away from the old stereotype of cagey Italian tactical battles with 29 shots and defensive blunders.

Seven-time winners AC Milan had conceded only one goal at home in their previous six semi-finals and only once in their last six Champions League ties this season.

But Dzeko, who outshone fellow golden oldie Olivier Giroud, and Mkhitaryan both scored in a crazy opening 11 minutes. Inter looked like scoring on every attack as ex-Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori had a nightmare.
