Christian Pulisic was the hero at San Siro as AC Milan nicked a tight 1-0 derby win over Inter, a result that fires the Rossoneri up to second in Serie A and just two points behind new leaders Roma. The American struck early in the second half, reacting quickest when Yann Sommer weakly pushed out Alexis Saelemaekers’ low effort. It was basically Milan’s only proper chance in a cagey, tense clash, but Pulisic wasn’t in the mood to waste it, his fifth league goal of a season where he’s been nothing short of brilliant. Milan, though, has got just as much to thank Mike Maignan for. The French keeper had one of those nights where nothing was beating him. He dived low to keep out Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty on 74 minutes, then tipped a fierce Lautaro Martinez volley onto the post earlier in the half. Francesco Acerbi also clattered the woodwork with a header as Inter dominated most of the play. Chivu’s men, despite all the ball, simply couldn’t make the breakthrough and now sit fourth, a point behind Milan and champions Napoli, while high flying Bologna lurk just under them in the table. Inter will try to shake this one off quickly, with a huge Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Having won their first four games in Europe, another result in Spain could all but book them a direct spot in the last 16. Milan, meanwhile, can enjoy a full week basking in another derby scalp. They’ve not lost to Inter since that title clinching evening back in April 2024, and the red and black side of the city will be more than happy to remind everyone of that.

Former Besiktas coach Sinan Engin has taken a swipe at Galatasaray, insisting the Turkish giants look like an “ordinary team” whenever Victor Osimhen isn’t on the pitch. Osimhen watched from the stands at RAMS Park as Gala edged a frantic 3-2 win over Gençlerbirliği, with Mauro Icardi, Baris Alper Yılmaz and İlkay Gündoğan on the scoresheet. Both sides finished with ten men, but despite the victory, Engin was far from impressed. The Nigerian striker, who bagged a brace in Nigeria’s 4-1 win over Gabon last week, was withdrawn at half time against DR Congo after picking up a hamstring problem. He’s expected to miss around three weeks, returning just before AFCON 2025 in Morocco. Speaking on Turkish media after the match, Engin claimed Gala's attacking spark was missing without their marquee forward. “Galatasaray were not attractive to watch,” he said. “Without Osimhen, they look like a very normal team. Look at the Liverpool and Bodø games. In the first half tonight, Galatasaray fans was pessimistic.” He also suggested the side is suffering from fatigue and an ongoing injury crisis, with key men like Lemina and Singo sidelined. “There’s something strange about the injuries. They are the strongest players and they are injured. Galatasaray needs to find a solution. They should transfer in January,” he added. Engin then contrasted Osimhen’s attitude with Besiktas star Rafa Silva, who reportedly refused to feature in a clash against Fenerbahce weeks earlier. “Osimhen must play for Galatasaray. If he did what Rafa Silva did, Gala would lose the championship. Massive disrespect from Rafa Silva. Osimhen doesn’t have such behaviour. Rafa should follow Osimhen’s example,” he concluded. With Osimhen sidelined and Gala still pushing for the Super Lig crown, Buruk’s side may need to navigate a tricky spell without their biggest weapon and January could now be busier than planned.
