On paper, grinding out a 1-0 victory over their city rivals was exactly what we'd expect from Max Allegri's AC Milan. But in fact, this game has really left Andy and Nicky Bandini scratching their heads...

They discuss Mike Maignan's inspired performance for Milan and just where he ranks among the world's goalkeeping elite right now. Nicky also wonders whether Milan are quite as 'vintage Allegri' as this game suggested and why Inter continue to fall short in big games, despite dominating here.

Plus, Andy and Nicky take a closer look at the Serie A title race, and why it's going to provide us with the best drama of any European league this season. Join us!
