Welcome to Eurosport-Yahoo!'s live coverage of the huge table-topping Serie A clash between Milan and Internazionale at the San Siro!

Sneijder's corner is headed right back to him. The Dutchman uses his sublime control to send the ball back into the box, but he overhits the second delivery.

Maicon goes tearing down the right flank and Zambrotta makes a good tackle on him. Corner to Inter.

Four of last the five victories for Milan against Inter in Serie A have been 1-0 (the other 2-1).

Here come inter now, and Giampaolo Pazzini bundles his way past Zambrotta and gets his shot away... Abbiati saves! Pazzini had to rush his effort and just prodded it right at the keeper.

Milan win their first corner. It is played short before Gattuso gets his cross in. The ball is headed clear as far as the edge of the area, and Seedorf blazes his volley high over the bar.

Sneijder has a laser pen shone in his eyes as he prepares to take the free-kick. He goes for goal... over the bar!

Goran Pandev is brought down by a clumsy, late challenge from Gianluca Zambrotta. The free-kick is on the right side of the area.

It will be Pato who will strike... the free-kick rebounds off the wall, and then off a Milan player before going out for a goal kick.

Andrea Ranocchia brings down Gattuso on the edge of the box, and Milan have a free-kick in the ideal place for a shot. Several candidates to take this one, and they all crowd around the dead ball.

Wesley Sneijder puts in a good tackle and Inter make steady progress forward. Thiago Motta takes too long to pick out a pass down the left, and Milan defend it efficiently.

Inter need to regroup here, they are being overrun. There are plenty of experienced heads and game-changers in this side - Eto'o, sneijder, Zanetti, Cambiasso - and Inter need those stars to lift their game now.

Ignazio Abate jinks his way down the right and chips a cross over to Clarence Seedorf to volley... The strike rebounds off the hand of Maicon! The referee says no penalty! It was more ball-to-hand than the other way around.

All the play is in the Inter half at the moment. Milan are certainly playing like the 'home' team.

To date, Milan have scored 200 goals in derbies, while Inter have netted 215 times. (Opta)

Robinho, wearing number 70, roves forward again. He drifts in from the right and finds Kevin-Prince Boateng, but the return pass rolls through to Julio Cesar.

Inter right-back Maicon goes tumbling into the bench after colliding with fellow Brazilian Robinho! Maicon just lost his footing and ended up sat in the dugout!

Inter make their first foray forward, but Samuel Eto'o's ball into the box is underhit.

Incredibly, that is not even the fastest ever goal in a Milan derby. Milan once scored after just 13 seconds!

That goal is Pato's 12th in the league this season. This is the Brazilian's 20th league appearance of the campaign, which he has missed a good chunk of through injury.

GOAL!! A dream start for Milan, who score after just 44 seconds! Gennaro Gattuso plays a through ball into the box for Robinho. Julio cesar comes off his line to block the shot but Pato pounces to turn the loose ball in!

The whistle blows and Milan kick off!
