Hello and welcome to this crucial Milan derby at the San Siro, kicking off at 7.45pm UK time!

STAT - that win levelled the all-time derby stat at 70-70. Even.

Well that was an exciting clash and a classic counter-attacking smash-and-grab from Inter. Thanks for joining me, anything to say please do so on Twitter @Reda_Maher.

Desperate stuff from Milan now but a long one sails towards Cesar, who lets it run out for a goal kick. And that, as they say, is that - Inter have won! Juve take top slot from Milan, and Inter are right back in it, a point away from fourth!!

El-Shaarawy almost finds Ibra, but Lucio clears. Then El-Shaarawy catches Lucio and is booked.

Robinho crosses for Abate, Nagatomo gets in his way and it sails out for a goal kick.

INTER SUB: Forlan is on for Pazzini after returning from injury. Three minutes added on.

Cesar is rather fortunate to get a free-kick after flapping at a cross under pressure from Ibra.

Motta chops down Van Bommel and is booked for his sins.

Nesta sweeps it wide to Seedorf but he runs into Zanetti who comes up with the ball, Sneijder turns and finds Pazzini who holds it up and slows it down.

All hands to the pump for Inter now as Milan have everyone in their half and vice-versa... Underhit pass aimed at Abate, but Silva wins it back.

Boateng chases a long ball but Chivu puts out to touch. Abate takes the throw, Ibra on it, wide for Emanuelson who inexplicably lets it run to Zanetti.

Give it to El-Shaarawy! Oh, he gives away a free-kick. Still, great cameo thus far.

El-Shaarawy immediately with a cute ball in for ROBINHO BUT BLOCKED BY CESAR! It drops again to El-Shaarawy who hooks in a super cross AND IBRA KNOCKS IT DOWN FOR ROBINHO BUT HE MISSES IT

MILAN SUB: El-Shaarawy on for Pato.

Seedorf gets it wide left AND A SUPER EFFORT FROM RANGE BUT TIPPED AWAY BY CESAR!

El-Shaarawy is warming up now - a fleet-footed playmaker, 19, signed from Genoa.

Milan are pressing higher and higher up the pitch but leaving more and more gaps...

Zanetti takes it into the right corner, winning a throw off Emanuelson. They won't rush this - it allows Milan to bring Seedorf on for Nocerino.

Nagatomo's cross is too heavy for Pazzini, it comes back off him to Zanetti but he scuffs a shot well wide.

Maicon's ball in from the right is headed out for a throw by Nesta. This is where Inter want it, in the corners...
