## Key points

- Amorim’s Milan beat title favourites Inter in his first derby.
- Milan had lost 4-2 to Bologna days earlier.
- Serie A is averaging 3.18 goals per match.

## Summary

Ruben Amorim marked his first Milan derby as manager with a tactical win over Inter, lifting Milan after a disappointing defeat to Bologna. The result matters because it puts the reigning champions on notice and gives fresh momentum to a club he had admired since childhood.

Amorim joined Milan in June after the club had missed out on the Champions League for a second successive season, and the owners spent more than €160m on summer transfers. Serie A has averaged 3.18 goals a match this season, with only two goalless draws in almost 10 rounds. Inter had been favourites to retain the title after dropping just two points, while Amorim rested key players before the derby and included 20-year-old Sankhoun Diawara in his plans.
