Do 10 man Inter shut up shop and look to secure a point or do they go for all three points? There's no sign of Roberto Mancini's men going all defensive. This has been a rip-roaring second half and it's still end to end in the closing stages.

Jeison Murillo can count himself unfortunate to see red. Replays show there was little contact with Franco Vazquez.
RED CARD - Jeison Murillo

Drama. Inter will play the final 10 minutes or so with 10 men after Jeison Murillo is sent off for a second yellow card following a foul on Franco Vazquez.
GREAT SAVE!
Palermo 1-1 Inter Milan
Inter Milan have to win to go top of the table. And they go oh so close as Fredy Guarin's 25-yard effort deflects off Enzo Maresca and flies towards the top corner of the net before Stefano Sorrentino produces the save of the night to tip it over. What a cracking match.

Alberto Gilardino
This game has come alive - and Palermo are right back in it. Franco Vazquez, who has been excellent for the hosts, pings the ball across Inter's penalty area. It takes not one but two deflections before Alberto Gilardino guides it home from close range. Scruffy? Yes. Scrappy? Yes. Deserved? Absolutely.
