In the Derby d'Italia, a diving header from Mario Mandzukic was enough for Serie A frontrunners Juventus to claim victory against rivals Inter at the Allianz Stadium.
In a fiery opening period filled with rugged challenges, Inter would have been disappointed that they failed to take a lead into the second half. Surprise starter Roberto Gagliardini saw his strike come off the inside of the post, before Croatian winger Ivan Perisic saw his drilled effort flash just wide, as the Nerazzurri's early dynamism unsettled the league leaders.
However, Allegri's side responded with a far better second period and enjoyed large spells of possession in the Inter half.
