It was a battle of the minds for the first 45 minutes between Luciano Spalletti and Gian Piero Gasperini with both tacticians completely cancelling each other out where Atalanta locked Inter. It all changed in the second half thanks to Inter’s Captain Fatastic, Mauro Icardi who decided the match via a brace in the space of 9 minutes.
There are soon no more adjectives left to describe Mauro Icardi. After a frustrating 45 minutes when he missed 1 on 1 with Berisha in Atalanta’s goal the Inter captain started the second half by heading a cross straight into said goalkeeper’s arms. A normal player would have maybe started to mope, but Mauro Icardi is not a normal player. Two crosses in the space of 9 minutes, one from Antonio Candreva and one from Danilo D’Ambrosio were both headed home by Icardi and that was that. 13 goals in 13 matches, 3 points in the bag, thank you and goodnight.
Inter are in second place in the Serie A league table, 2 points off of leaders Napoli after 13 matches and are still unbeaten this season. Phenomenal does not even begin to describe it.

How icardi, milan skriniar was the best no mistakes, 2 chances went 2 waist from icardi, still I strongly believe that eder can finish of that first chance.
icardi, d’ambrosio, and candreva to me.. everybody are playing well tbh.. but how can santon get more vote than candreva!? LMAO.XD
its important for us to try and finish the first half of the season unbeaten inter for life just saying we really need to get our young players some playing time we could of repeat that 7 goals today with all the miss chances
Miranda was a beast and a half today.
Of course Icardi is mofm.
Santon fit is really good news to me, he could be utilized in many ways and we legally need some academy products anyways.
On the negative side , Vecino not as well as usually he is with us, but I feel safe with him anyway
Gaglia. ..all right I guess but in the home, offensive games I would definitely look for an alternative.
icardi, danilo then Miranda …… special mention to santon who played a full 90 mins!!!!! glad he’s back and fit; hope he hits his peak this time around
Icardi is the obvious option but Dumbo finishes a close second to me. Then Miranda who was spectacular in covering everyone
Icardi is the obvious MVP candidate here; however I thought D’Ambrosio had a really good game as well.
Icardi does what he always does for us to win we really should keep this up We doing so well
