Inter Milan capitalized on Juventus' slip to top the Italian Serie A table after a superb second half comeback against bitter rivals, Milan.

Inter are now ahead the table on goal difference from champions Juventus who lost 2-1 to Verona on Saturday.

Ante Rebic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic put Milan two goals up before the break but Marcelo Brozovic volleyed in and Matias Vecino stroked home Alexis Sanchez's cutback before Stefan de Vrij and Romelu Lukaku both scored headers.

Antonio Conte's men secured a 4-2 comeback victory.

Inter are now unbeaten in 16 league games and host Napoli on Wednesday, before a crucial clash against fellow title challengers Lazio next Sunday.

"It's still very early to talk about something we can only dream of for now," Conte told Sky Italia.

"We can have a dream. It's a very intense period for us coming up and after that we'll have a better idea of our potential and our real capabilities.

"We can't achieve everything from one day to the next, but we are building. These guys proved they have great strength and guts today." [BBC]
