FC Internazionale 2-3 Juventus FC (Serie A Review)

Serie A leaders Juventus scored twice in the last three minutes to secure a dramatic win over 10-man Inter and maintain their claim to the title race.

A match full of drama and emotion, could have gone either way but Higuain's headed winner took all three points from the Milan club.

Derby d'italia , one of the famous matches in Italian football history. San Siro was packed up and fans were excited for this classic match up. Juventus were ahead in the 13th minute from a defensive lapse of Inter thanks to a volley from their Brazilian winger Douglas Costa.

But the big blow came for Inter when Vecino got red card after a bad foul on Mandzukic within five mins after conceding the goal. A bad 1st half for Inter as they were 1 goal behind and were giving ball away in dangerous position rather cheaply.

Inter came back strong in the 2nd half as Icardi's header ended at the back of the net for the equalizer. 10 men Spalletti's team were playing like they had a man advantage and soon they were ahead when Perisic dribbled past Old Lady's right back Cuadrado and put a dangerous cross in the box and resulted a own goal from Barzagli.

But defending champions, Juventus, showed their character after conceeding two goals. Massimiliano Allegri soon brought their Argentinian sensation Dybala and game suddenly changed in favour of Turin club as Cuadrado's deflected shot from an acute angle ended at the back of the net. That goal was later given as an own goal from Skriniar. Just when everyone were expecting a draw, Paolo Dybala put a ball in the box from a set-peice and Higuain finshed it in his style and gave the Old lady 3 points.

A disappointing result for Inter as they fought till the end but couldn't get a single point for their race for the top four

On the other hand a huge boost for Juve for the title race as they are now 4points ahead from their rival Napoli who has a game in hand.

"I think football was the winner, as we saw two teams battle it out to the end," said Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri afterwards.

Allegri was right indeed. Football was the winner and we are waiting for a mouthwatering finish to the Serie A campaign this season.
