DAYS after reportedly being involved in a bitter dressing room row, Marcelo Brozovic and Romelu Lukaku both scored to hand Inter a 2-0 win over rivals AC Milan.

The second-half goals continue the Nerazzurri’s 100 per cent start to the league season and put them top of Serie A.

A drilled effort from midfielder Brozovic deflected through a crowded penalty area to give Antonio Conte’s side the lead early in the second-half.

Although there was a wait for VAR to ensure the offside Lautaro Martinez hadn’t touched the ball as it dribbled in.

In the final ten minutes, Lukaku popped up on the end of Nico Barella’s perfect cross to head home Inter’s second in what was technically an away game at Stadio San Siro.

The Belgian spoke “Mama, I love you” into the camera after scoring and was also spotted embracing Brozovic, who was said to have taken umbrage with Lukaku’s criticism of Conte’s tactics in the midweek draw with Slavia Prague.

Inter relied on a late equaliser to ensure they took a point at home to the Czech side in a display that contrasted against their strong domestic showings.

Wins over Lecce, Cagliari and Udinese – conceding just once along the way – served to revitalise the Milan club.

As for their neighbours, AC are left in ninth after a second loss in four games.

Marco Giampaolo’s side matched their rivals for control of the ball but lacked a penetrative edge despite new signing Rafael Leao starting up top alongside Krzysztof Piatek.

Earlier in the day, Juventus returned to winning ways with a 2-1 comeback victory over Hellas Verona – Aaron Ramsey netting on his first start for the defending champions.
