Inter moved to within 3 points of AC Milan and cemented their 2nd place

The Italian vice-champion won the third consecutive home victory in all tournaments.

Simone Inzaghi’s wards showed good results, which distanced them from their big rival by 3 points.

Romelu Lukaku broke the ice at “Giuseppe Meazza” in the 20th minute, emotionlessly executing a shot from 11 yards.

In the break, the home team did not take advantage, because the Slovenian Sandi Lovrich restored the tie from Pereira’s pass (min. 43).

In the second half, the Nerazzurri went on the attack, and in the 73rd minute, Henrikh Mkhitaryan put Inter ahead again.

Entering the field in place of Lukaku, home scorer Lautaro Martinez closed the table (min. 89) with the 13th goal of this championship.
