Overview
- Lautaro Martínez struck inside three minutes after Alessandro Bastoni won the ball from Gustav Isaksen and teed him up, ending the captain’s brief Serie A drought.
- Ange‑Yoan Bonny sealed the result on 62 minutes with a back‑post tap‑in from a low Federico Dimarco cross.
- Piotr Zielinski’s long‑range finish was ruled out on VAR for a Dimarco handball in the build‑up, and Mario Gila’s header bounced off the underside of the bar without fully crossing the line.
- The victory lifts Inter to 24 points, level with Roma, after Napoli lost to Bologna and Milan drew at Parma; Lazio’s six‑match unbeaten run and four‑game clean‑sheet streak were halted.
- Chivu highlighted unity and an aggressive press after recent unconvincing wins, with Marcus Thuram restricted to the bench as attention turns to the Derby della Madonnina following the break.
