Seria A: Inter drop, Giroud shines as AC Milan step up to win title

AC Milan players rejoice

Inter Milan have been pipped to the Serie A title by rivals AC Milan on the final day of the season despite a 3-0 win over Sampdoria at home.

Simone Inzaghi’s side needed to win and hope their local rivals lost to Sassuolo but the Rossoneri won 3-0 to clinch the Scudetto.

The home side lacked intensity in the first half but created a few good opportunities with Denzel Dumfries going close with two headers and Lautaro Martinez having an effort saved.

Nicolo Barella picked up the pace in the second half and a minute after having an effort saved, he teed up Ivan Perisic who found the net with a first-time finish.

The Nerazzurri sealed victory with two goals in two minutes from Joaquin Correa.

The Argentine striker curled a low shot into the bottom corner for his opener and made it 3-0 with a solo effort in the box.

But Perisic picked up a suspected calf injury in the build-up to the goal and was taken off in what could be his final game for the club.

The result sees Inter finish second, two points behind AC Milan, while Sampdoria end the season in 15th place.
