Tempers Flare Between Zlatan Ibrahimović, Romelu Lukaku in Milan Derby; Ibrahimović Later Ejected


AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimović and Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku were given yellow cards after a heated exchange. Ibrahimović was ejected later in the match.

Things got tense when AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović and Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku got into a heated altercation during the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. 

It started when Lukaku was upset with Inter Milan's Alessio Romagnoli for a foul at the end of the first half that eventually led to the two strikers butting heads. 

Both players had to be restrained and could be seen hurling expletives at one another.

Lukaku was especially fuming and at one point can be heard accusing Ibrahimović of talking about his mother and proceeded to insult Ibrahimović's wife as well. Both players were dealt yellow cards as a result of the ugly exchange. 

Later in the match, Ibrahimović was given a second yellow card for a trip on defender Aleksandar Kolarov and was ejected for the match. 

Inter Milan would have the last laugh by winning the match 2–1 after Christian Eriksen sealed it on stoppage time free kick.
