Inter win the ‘away’ game 2-1 and seal their 20th coveted title to set off wild celebrations in the Italian capital.
Inter Milan have won their 20th Serie A title after a heated 2-1 win at AC Milan gave Simone Inzaghi’s side an unassailable lead in the standings with five matches remaining in the season.
A goal from Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram in each half proved sufficient to secure Inter’s victory, with Fikayo Tomori scoring a late goal to reduce the deficit in the Milan derby on Monday.
The match also witnessed three red cards in stoppage time, with Milan being reduced to nine men as tensions flared, with Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria getting their marching orders along with Inter’s Denzel Dumfries.
Inter, who have lost only once in the league this season, hold a 17-point advantage over second-placed Milan.
