Juventus 2-4 Inter: Ivan Persic strikes twice in extra time as Inter win Coppa Italia in thrilling Derby d’Italia final

Ivan Perisic's brace in extra-time helped Inter clinch the Coppa Italia trophy for the first time since 2011 as Simone Inzaghi's side came from behind to beat reigning champions Inter in a pulsating match at the Stadio Olimpico. Nicolo Barella's curled a beautiful shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area to give Inter a sixth-minute lead, a goal worthy of the stage.

Ad/> This gave way to some heavy Juventus pressure and Inter were relieved to have a slender lead at the break. In an intense 10-minute spell, Dusan Vlahovic's angled shot tested Samir Handanovic while Paulo Dybala's effort on the half-volley drifted agonisingly wide.

Alex Sandro reacted quickest to Vlahovic's blocked effort and his first-time shot was deflected past Handanovic by the foot of Alvaro Morata, who had replaced the injured Danilo.

Inter were still reeling from what they will consider an unfortunate equaliser when suddenly, on the counterattack, Dybala released Vlahovic and despite seeing his initial shot blocked, he kept his composure to roll the rebound into the net. Having seized the initiative, Juventus then dropped their defensive line increasingly deep and after inviting pressure, Leonardo Bonucci caught Lautaro Martinez inside the box, with Hakan Calhanoglu confidently dispatching the penalty to send the game into extra-time.
