Inter were dealt another damaging blow as they lost to Fiorentina in their return to Serie A action yesterday evening.

The Nerazzurri hadn’t lost to La Viola in the league since nearly six years ago, during the 2016-17 season, but were unable to score a goal and saw Vincenzo Italiano’s men extend their winning run across all competitions to seven.

As football statistics account Opta highlighted in a tweet, this was the first time since 2018 that La Viola midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura had scored a headed goal in the league, back when he was an AC Milan player.

They tweeted, “2018 – Giacomo Bonaventura has scored his first Serie A headed goal since January 2018, also at the Meazza Stadium, for AC Milan against Lazio. Surprise.”
