AC Milan defied the odds to beat fierce rivals Inter 1-0 in last night’s Derby della Madonnina.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri cannot catch a break against fellow Scudetto rivals.

Despite outplaying the Rossoneri, Inter couldn’t convert their chances last night.

Indeed, Mike Maignan was nothing short of remarkable between the sticks.

His stops to deny Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Marcus Thuram condemned Inter to their first scoring blank this season.

In addition to their first scoreless performance under Cristian Chivu, Inter slumped to yet another derby loss.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri suffered a 4-3 Derby d’Italia defeat in September before being beaten by Napoli last month.

The ominous trend continued yesterday, as Chivu’s side failed to overcome Milan for a sixth match on the trot.

Furthermore, except for a narrow 1-0 win over Roma, they’ve lost all three remaining high-stakes games this term.

Therefore, Chivu must find a way to ensure his side can turn dominance on the pitch into tangible results.
