Ivan Perisic was the hero of the day after his brace decided a thrilling Coppa Italia final between Inter Milan and Juventus.

Ten minutes from time, a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty saw Inter equalise at 2-2 to send the game into extra time.
Perisic converted another penalty to make it 3-2 on the night for Inter before he sealed the win with his second and Inter's fourth, a beautiful half volley to make it 4-2.
"We made it," Inter posted on their official Twitter account.
