Inter went top of the table in Serie A after a well-earned victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, Italian media claim.
A first half strike from range from Nicolo Barella was followed up Ivan Perisic’s goal after the break to seal the win, sending the Nerazzurri a point clear of AC Milan. The Rossoneri have a game in hand however, ahead of their match against Crotone tomorrow.
As reported in today’s Corriere dello Sport, Inter deserved to find themselves at the summit of Serie A after a dominant performance in Florence, with the Nerazzurri enjoying a more comfortable evening than in the same fixture in the Coppa Italia last month.
An extra-time Romelu Lukaku goal sealed victory then after a tense encounter, but Corriere dello Sport commended Inter’s control of the match yesterday as they sealed a first away league win since the turn of the year.
Antonio Conte’s side look to maintain their Scudetto charge when they welcome Lazio to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza next weekend.
