Inter Milan 1-2 Juventus: 3 Reasons Why the Bianconeri were victorious in the Derby D'Italia

#1 Sarri ringing in the changes

Sarri's changes to the starting XI as well as substitutions during the game bore fruit

Recent weeks have seen Maurizio Sarri gamble with Paulo Dybala in attack and rely on Aaron Ramsey in the role behind the strikers. Going into the game against Inter, he decided to stick with Dybala but replace Ramsey with Bernardeschi. This was despite Gonzalo Higuain and the Welshman showing decent form.

The gamble paid off almost immediately when Dybala scored early on, and Juventus looked imperious in attack for most of the first half. In the second half, when Juventus' attack began to wane, Sarri was quick to act, introducing Higuain in place of Bernardeschi that saw Dybala drop to a deeper role.

That change also would end well for Sarri as Higuain got on the end of a pass from Bentancur, made some space for himself and found the back fo the net.

Sarri has faced some criticism in the past for making predictable substitutions and failing to affect a game form the bench. Against Inter, though, he made all the right moves to enable his side to clinch all three points.
