Martinez keeps Inter’s Serie A advantage at Juventus
Inzaghi’s side have come through the first of a series of tough tests with a Champions League trip to Benfica next up on Wednesday before they face Napoli in Naples next Sunday.
Lautaro Martinez’s goal in Sunday’s gritty 1-1 draw at closest rivals Juventus maintained Inter Milan’s two-point lead at the top of Serie A.
Argentina forward Martinez slammed home Marcus Thuram’s low cross in the 33rd minute after excellent play down the right side from his striking partner, keeping second-placed Juventus at bay in the title chase.
His 15th goal in all competitions brought Inter level six minutes after Dusan Vlahovic broke a two-month scoring duck with a similar first-time finish at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
The stalemate ended a six-match winning streak in all competitions for Inter, who are favourites to claim a 20th Scudetto ahead of AC Milan who have also won the league 19 times.
“For how the match went we’ll take the point,” said coach Simone Inzaghi to DAZN.
“We know it’s not easy to score at Juventus but after going behind the team stayed in the match and we scored a great goal.”
Inzaghi’s side have come through the first of a series of tough tests with a Champions League trip to Benfica next up on Wednesday before they face Napoli in Naples next Sunday.
They have already reached the last 16 of Europe’s top competition but are battling with Real Sociedad for top spot in Group D with the Spanish outfit travelling to Milan next month.
