  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Inter were 2-0 up within just 13 minutes of the Serie A clash at home but the visitors pulled a goal back through a Riccardo Orsolini before Joshua Zirkzee equalised early in the second half.

    The Milan club had opportunities to restore their lead, but were unable to find the net and ended up walking away with just a point.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The result, followed by AC Milan's 1-0 win against Genoa later in the day, saw Inzaghi's team lose their hold on first place in the Italian league. They now trail their San Siro rivals by two points.

    Inter's collapse left Inzaghi infuriated, especially in the wake of another recent comeback defeat from his side - the 2-1 loss at home against Sassuolo.

  • WHAT THEY SAID

    "I'm angry, you can't draw a match like this. We lost bloody points," he said. "I'm angry like all the players in the locker room are angry. It's the second time we've taken the lead at home and not won: against Sassuolo we lost, this time we drew.

    "After the 2-0 we made two mistakes that we can't allow ourselves to make: we should have moved better, the two goals are two serious oversights. Thus excellent performances like today's are wasted: with what we had produced, I hardly accept a draw.

    "Even after those two goals conceded to Bologna we created a lot without finding the goal again: we had opportunities to win, with Lautaro, with Carlos Augusto."
