AC Milan's Tomori on UCL semi-final derby versus rivals Inter

Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both found the back of the net as Inter Milan claimed the advantage in their Champions League semi-final against AC Milan with a 2-0 first-leg win at San Siro.

Inter came out of the blocks in rapid fashion taking their city rivals by surprise with two goals inside the first 11 minutes. They could easily have put the tie to bed after a dominant first-half display which saw Hakan Calhanoglu hit the post and VAR overturn a penalty decision.

Despite their woeful start, Milan improved after the break and will be grateful to still be in with a shout of defeating the 2010 champions in the second leg.
