Inter Milan 3-2 AC Milan: 5 Talking Points

#2 AC Milan still a work in progress

A man under tremendous pressure

After spending €200 million in the summer and completing an overhaul like no other, AC Milan were tipped to get back among the teams challenging for the Scudetto. But it was going to be a challenge for Vincenzo Montella to turn the fortunes around in quick time which is proving to be the case until now.

Four defeats in eight league games do not bode well for the under-pressure manager but it is understood that the Milan owners have given Montella an assurance about his future with the club. His side showed character to stand up and be counted against an in-form Inter side and deservedly scored twice against the best defence in Italy at the moment. Milan had the majority of the possession and were on top for most of the second half.

Improvements are there to be seen but the results need to match those if AC Milan have to justify their big spending last summer with Montella increasing the scrutiny over his time with the club.
