Inter Milan 3-2 AC Milan: 5 Talking Points

#3 Antonio Candreva impresses on the big stage

Age is just a number

The winger/wing back has often been criticized for his wastefulness in the final third and not contributing enough in the attacking department. Though he has been a crucial member of this Inter side, his attacking output has always put a question mark on his future with the club.

Coming on the back of scoring a winner for Italy against Albania, Candreva was in fine form against Milan and produced one of his best performances in a Nerazzurri shirt. Candreva provided an assist for Icardi's opener; an inch-perfect cross coming in from the right flank.

He could have had another assist with a pass to Matias Vecino whose shot went agonizingly wide. Candreva's one attempt at goal hit the crossbar in what was an effective first half from the Italian.

Each of Inter's threatening attacks in the first half came from the right wing and with him bombarding on that flank, Milan fullback Ricardo Rodriguez was pegged back for the majority of the time.
