Andrea Ranocchia can see the Serie A title coming into focus on the horizon after Inter beat Sassuolo on Wednesday.

Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez scored a goal in either half as Antonio Conte’s side secured a priceless 2-1 victory at San Siro.

Hamed Traore pulled a goal back late on for the visitors, but it wasn’t enough to stop Inter moving 11 points clear at the top of Serie A with nine games left.

Ranocchia, an unused substitute against the Neroverdi, wrote on Instagram: “Another step has been taken!”
