Inter rallied from two goals down to win a thrilling derby at the San Siro, beating rivals AC Milan 4-2.
Against expectations, AC Milan led 2-0 at half time, with goals from Ante Rebic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic, making his first Derby appearance since re-signing on a free transfer, headed down towards Rebic who tapped for the opener.
Just before the break, the Swedish star again made the difference, heading home after some sloppy defending from Inter to give the AC Milan a two-goal lead at the break.
