Stefan de Vrij scored a last-gasp goal to secure what could prove to be a precious point for Inter Milan in the title race as he helped his team avoid a third straight derby defeat to AC Milan with a 1-1 draw.

MILAN (Reuters) -Inter Milan came from a goal down to salvage a 1-1 derby draw against AC Milan with Stefan de Vrij snatching an added-time equaliser at the San Siro on Sunday, as they missed the chance to go provisionally top of the Serie A standings.

Inter denied Milan a third derby win of the season by snatching a late 1-1 draw. The defending Serie A champions saw two goals disallowed in the opening half-hour with Lautaro Martínez denied by offsides against himself and Nicolò Barella.
