The Nerazzurri are now 4 points clear at the top of the league after a dominant display resulted in a 1-0 win over fellow title contenders Juventus. Midfielders Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu returned to the first team for the Derby D’Italia after missing out in Florence last time out.
The game was ultimately decided after Federico Gatti’s own goal in the first half. Whilst Juve defended deep in the first half, the Bianconeri tried to take the game to the hosts in the second half after the introduction of Federico Chiesa.
However, it was Inter who had the better chances in the second half with two world-class saves from Szczesny denying both Barella and Arnautovic from close range.
Meanwhile, AC Milan secured all three points after a 3-2 victory in Frosinone after a late Luka Jovic winner completed an impressive comeback for The Rossoneri.
French striker Oliver Giroud opened the scoring, whilst Frosinone rallied back, having led 2-1 midway in the second half before goals from Gabbia and Jovic snatched the points for Milan.
Milan loanee Charles De Ketelaere struck twice as Atalanta extended their unbeaten run to 7 games in all competitions, winning 6 in this time.
