Inter Milan took a big step towards reaching the Champions League final as they beat their city rivals Inter, 2-nil in a thrilling Milan derby at San Siro.

Goals by Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan helped Inter for a surge to reach the final since they last lifted the trophy 13 years ago.

Anything but a defeat in the return leg next week would set up the final – where they will face either Manchester City or Real Madrid.
