Milan closed in on an equaliser, but a stunning save from Samir Handanovic blocked Lucas Paqueta's powerful shot on eight minutes.

The Nerazzurri were awarded a penalty after Politano was fouled in the area. Martinez restored their two-goal advantage on 67 minutes.
Milan set up a nervy end to match, as Mateo Musacchio lashed home a loose ball from inside the box on 71 minutes.
The Rossoneri had Andrea Conti dismissed for a second for a reckless challenge on Martinez but with help from the Video Assistant Refereeing team, the decision was overturned on 86 minutes.
A minute into added time, Castillejo looked to steal a draw but Handanovic's reflexes put off the Spaniard, as Danilo D'Ambrosio took Patrick Cutrone's low shot off the goal-line to give Inter the league double.
