Inter’s Serie A title triumph is ‘only a matter of time’ after last night’s win against Sassuolo, according to a report in the Italian media today.
Antonio Conte’s side moved 11 points clear of second-placed AC Milan with a 2-1 victory at San Siro, meaning they now need 16 points to be mathematically certain.
Corriere della Sera’s print edition said the Scudetto was ‘close and deserved’ for Inter, who have learned how to manage games and score at the crucial moments.
The Nerazzurri’s win was described in this report as ‘mature’, despite criticism elsewhere for their cautious game plan against Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring inside 10 minutes for Inter, but the Milan-based paper argued there was more than one hero for Conte’s side as they closed in on the Scudetto.
Lautaro Martinez was also praised for his clever movement up front, while Nicolo Barella received a mention for his prowess on the counterattack.
Inter achieved great success against Sassuolo by changing play quickly, like they did to find Ashley Young for the opening goal.
