Inter Milan closed the gap on Serie A leaders Roma with a morale-boosting 2-0 home triumph over familiar foes Lazio last night.
According to FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri erased the memory of an ‘expensive’ 2-2 draw in this corresponding fixture last season.
Indeed, Simone Inzaghi’s side failed to defend the Scudetto in 2024/25, partly due to letting slip two crucial points against Lazio in mid-May.
However, Cristian Chivu banished past ghosts with a commanding victory.
More importantly, Inter returned to their best following an unconvincing 2-1 home win over Kairat Almaty in the Champions League.
Inter Milan Erase Unpleasant Memories vs Lazio
Inter nearly dropped two points against the Champions League debutants on Wednesday.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri had tucked themselves into a false sense of security, allowing themselves to underestimate their opposition.
However, nothing of sort happened yesterday as the joint-leaders of Serie A imposed their authority from the first whistle.
Furthermore, Lautaro Martinez netted his first league goal since a 4-1 rout of Cremonese in early October to open the scoring.
Yet, Inter refused to rest on their laurels. Instead, they continued to dominate proceedings even after Ange-Yoan Bonny made it 2-0 early in the second half.
