Every goal from the Milan derby was an absolute stunner

AC Milan took on Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, and it was one of the best matchups we've seen between the two historic rivals in years. The Milan clubs split the points on the night, drawing 2-2, and every single one of the goals deserved a five-star Yelp review.

First, Milan's best player on the night, Suso, opened up the scoring, finishing off an impeccable counter-attack from Milan beautifully with a picture-perfect strike after Giacomo Bonaventura led the charge from midfield.

It didn't take long for Inter to level proceedings, as Antonio Candreva pulled out his sledgehammer and took out all the frustration of being the Nerazurri's most-substituted player on the ball. If you listen closely you can hear the whimpers of the poor sphere as it hurtles through the air to mercifully come to rest in the back of the net.

It was the Suso show tonight though, and he reminded everyone of that fact just five minutes later, leaving Joao Miranda's ankles firmly embedded in the San Siro turf and cooly sliding his finish past a helpless Samir Handanovic.

Savage. Miranda can't go home now. His family's probably packed their bags and headed out of town after the embarrassment Suso brought their family. He didn't have to do that to the man. He didn't have to ruin his life in front of an entire stadium and millions of viewers around the world. But he did it. And now he has to live with that.

Everything looked done and dusted, till Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic showed why he's probably their most important player, popping up inside the box in the 92nd minute to tuck away the equalizer, and making the entire stadium shake from combined excitement and outrage.

It was nuts, just like the rest of the game. And what a show it was.
