Inter warned tie is not over after impressive first-leg win against AC Milan
Simone Inzaghi insisted Inter Milan still have work to do to reach the Champions League final despite an impressive 2-0 first-leg victory over AC Milan in the last four. Inter blitzed their city rivals with two goals in the first 11 minutes through Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and could easily have put the tie to bed during a dominant first-half display. Milan improved after the break but will be grateful to still be in reach of the 2010 champions after a disappointing performance in front of their supporters in the ‘home’ leg of the tie. Inzaghi told Amazon Prime Video: “We could have done more than the two goals, but a great match. We’ve already gone through some rounds, we know we’re ahead. “Now there will be a second leg, we will have our fans with us and clearly we know that we will still have to make a huge effort to make a dream come true. “I asked for it yesterday, heart and mind. They covered every inch of the pitch and those who came in helped us. “That’s how performances like this are done. Now it’s right to be happy, but we know that we are still missing a piece.” Goalscorer Dzeko warned his team-mates not to let up ahead of Tuesday’s second-leg. “Obviously we know we have a good result but let’s say even though the next game on paper it is away game, actually it is a home game for them just with our fans,” Dzeko told BT Sport. “We have to be careful because they are a good team but if we play like we did today, we’re on a good route.” Milan boss Stefano Piolo was frustrated with the approach of his team. He told Amazon Prime Video: “We will try to do better in the second leg. I think they got the better of the tackles and second balls. The match went badly from a tactical and mental point of view. “We have to start from the attitude of the second half. We had the chances to get the game back on track. “We will have to put in an absolutely different performance from tonight’s. For the boys right now there is disappointment but also awareness of overturning the second leg.” Former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori insisted not all was lost for Milan. “Yeah, obviously we’re disappointed. Just the way we started the game, conceding two goals early on like that,” Tomori told BT Sport. “It was difficult but it is only the first game. We can’t let our heads drop. “Obviously we’re disappointed because this was the home leg in front of our fans and we wanted to take a positive result into the second leg but we know if we play with the right intensity, we can put them in a bit of bother.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Bath’s Ollie Lawrence named Gallagher Premiership player of the year Emma Hayes revelling in Chelsea’s WSL title pursuit of Manchester United Scottie Scheffler hopes putting improvement will take him back to number one

Emma Hayes revelling in Chelsea’s WSL title pursuit of Manchester United
Chelsea moved to within a point of Women’s Super League leaders Manchester United with a 6-0 thrashing of Leicester before boss Emma Hayes ramped up the pressure by revelling in the fun of the chase. Pernille Harder struck twice for the defending champions to help them warm up for Sunday’s FA Cup final against title rivals Man United at Wembley with another emphatic victory. After thumping Everton 7-0 last weekend, Chelsea picked up where they left off at Kingsmeadow with Guro Reiten, Erin Cuthbert, Lauren James and Jelena Cankovic on target alongside Harder’s second consecutive brace. It kept the five-time WSL winners in the driving seat for another championship as they have a game in hand on United, who have 50 points from 20 fixtures. Both teams now have a goal difference of 42 but Chelsea have scored more overall in the division which could be decisive if they end up level on points later this month. “I like this position, I like putting pressure on others. I don’t mind being there (top) but this is fun for me,” Hayes said. “We have always been chasing this whole year, always been a game or two behind. It’s nice to finally close the gap and now it’s about putting Man United under pressure because we’re not in the driving seat, we’re still in second. “We have had to find ways to win without being scintillating, but I think our confidence is really high right now. We’re in the best place we’ve probably been in all season. “I know what I want to do for Sunday. I know exactly how we want to play, I’m happy with the whole team, the team are playing well.” Reiten’s eighth-minute finish got Chelsea on their way before Cuthbert hit her 50th goal for the club with 18 minutes played. Harder stole the show with a first-half double and James stretched the lead early in the second period with a stunning solo goal. Cankovic completed the scoring in added time with another spectacular strike to help the second-placed Blues make it four league wins in a row. Relegation-threatened Leicester – thumped 8-0 at home by the Blues in December – remain two points above bottom club Reading with two games to go following their 15th defeat of a difficult campaign. Arsenal boosted their hopes of Champions League qualification by climbing to third after Stina Blackstenius’ early brace helped them record a 4-0 success over Brighton. Sweden forward Blackstenius struck in the sixth and eighth minutes to set the visitors on course for a comfortable victory. Frida Maanum and Victoria Pelova also claimed first-half goals for the Gunners, who climbed above Manchester City on goal difference with a game in hand.
