Inter are 9 points away at the top of the Italian league

The leaders Inter struggled to achieve their eighth successive victory in the Italian football league, with difficulty on the ground of Turin 2-1 on Sunday in the 27th round.

Inter raised its score to 65 points from 27 matches, compared to 56 for its second neighbor Milan, who receives Napoli VI later in a strong match.

Inter dreams of a first title in Serie A since achieving a historic hat-trick (League, Cup and Champions League) in 2010 under the supervision of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.

Inter coach Antonio Conte sat on the stands due to his suspension.

Once again, "Nerazzurri" needed the attacking duo of Belgian Romelu Lukaku and Argentine Lautaro Martinez to rescue him.

After entering Denmark's Christian Eriksen after the break, Inter's performance improved.

Lukaku opened the scoring from the penalty spot (62), reducing the difference to a goal with the Portuguese leader Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Juventus (20 goals).

But Turin equaled after a battle in the area via Antonio Sanabria (70), before Inter needed a clever fatal header from Lautaro in the 85th minute, by which he decided the three points, after a pass from Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez.

The result is harsh for Turin, who is threatened with relegation to the second division in the eighteenth place, after hitting the post in the first half through the heart of his Brazilian defense, Lianco (29).

Inter, the injured Chilean midfielder, Arturo Vidal, was absent, while Turin was affected by the absence of a number of his players due to the Corona virus protocol.
