AC Milan 1-1 draw with Inter Milan

Roberto Mancini's return to the Inter Milan helm ended in a 1-1 draw with neighbours AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium on Sunday.

The former Manchester City manager watched his new side fall behind to a fine Jeremy Menez goal in the 23rd minute, but Inter restored parity on the hour mark when Joel Chukwuma Obi finally found a way past Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez with a sweet effort from the edge of the area.

The result might have ensured a share of the spoils for the Milanese clubs but did little to help either team's hopes of gaining ground on the Champions League places in Serie A.

There was an early scare for Milan when Sulley Muntari gave the ball away, allowing Mauro Icardi to chase down on goal. But Lopez produced a great save to block the forward in the eighth minute.
