The Rossoneri moved within seven points of their rivals, winning both Derby della Madonnina matches since 2010-11 after holding on despite late pressure from the home side and an apparent goal disallowed for a foul by referee Daniele Doveri.
Pervis Estupinan scored AC Milan's decisive goal with 10 minutes remaining before half-time as they defeated city rivals Inter 1-0 at home. The victory reduced Serie A point gaps between teams and ended a run of eight consecutive wins for the defending champions, marking their first league defeat since November against this same opponent.
