Giroud’s double has Inter in spin

European Round-Up

OLIVIER GIROUD’S late double earned AC MILAN a 2-1 comeback win over INTER MILAN as the Serie A title race took a twist.

Ivan Perisic put leaders Inter in front at the San Siro, breaking Milan’s resistance after their keeper Mike Maignan pulled off two superb saves.

But Giroud (below) nudged in a leveller on 75 minutes. And the former Arsenal striker found the bottom corner three minutes later to turn the Milan derby on its head.

After ending the defending champions’ 14-match unbeaten league run, AC are a point behind Inter.
