'The goldfinch is tweeting, the goldfinch is tweeting, tweet tweet tweet…' Not Sir David Attenborough or ornithologist Bill Oddie during Sunday night viewing, but Carlo Pellegatti.
The Mediaset commentator, an AC Milan nut, was thrilled to bits when Jesus Joaquin Fernandez Saez de la Torre, aka Suso, scored a magnificent brace against Inter in the Derby della Madonnina. Likeable Pellegatti is famous for giving players colourful nicknames, and Suso is the goldfinch thanks to his agility and speed.
Easily the standout performer, former Liverpool man Suso's two wonderful goals, overshadowed Mauro Icardi and Carlos Bacca. Inter skipper Icardi couldn't break his duck against the Rossoneri, and Colombian Bacca looked uncomfortable all night.
