Milan players allowed one night of celebration, says Mihajlovic


Sinisa Mihajlovic will only allow his AC Milan players one night
of celebration after their thumping 3-0 victory over Inter on
Sunday.

Goals from Alex, Carlos Bacca and M'Baye Niang helped
Mihajlovic's team demolish their fierce rivals at San Siro,
securing Milan's biggest derby victory since 2011 in the
process.

A top-three finish is not out of reach for Milan now, despite their
early-season struggles and the speculation surrounding
Mihajlovic's own future with the Rossoneri, and therefore the
coach does not want his squad losing track of the matter at
hand – namely maintaining their impressive recent form.

"Finally we gave joy to president [Silvio] Berlusconi. I'm happy
for him, for the fans, the club and the guys," he said.

"Now we celebrate until tomorrow, then immediately head to the
next game [at Palermo on Wednesday].

"We beat Inter and Fiorentina, we drew in Rome and deserved to
win. I said it would be a circle of revenge; now we must
continue."

Inter coach Roberto Mancini was sent to the stands by referee
Antonio Damato for his protestations after the official decided
not to take action against Gianluigi Donnarumma for a first-half
challenge on Eder.

Asked to comment on the incident, which Mancini believed
enough to warrant a red card for the home goalkeeper,
Mihajlovic said: "Donnarumma touched the ball before
Eder. Gigio's only 17 years old, let's not forget, and he has yet
to mature."
