Inter Milan became the first side to beat Napoli in the league matches this season as Serie A resumed following the World Cup break.
Inter Milan vs Napoli:
Eden Dzeko scored the only goal of the game as Inter got the better of the league leaders at home to finally cue a title race which Napoli seemed to be running away with.
The home side looked likest to score from the off with Federico DiMarco missing his side’s first chance after just four minutes. Romelu Lukaku and DiMarco then fluffed their lines before the break once again as the teams headed into the interval level at 0-0.
Dzeko finally broke the deadlock in the 56th minute when he beat Alex Meret with a header with Federico DiMarco providing the assist.
The vaunted attacking talents of Napoli finally woke up after the goal but failed to break down Inter’s defence ending their 11-match win streak in the process.
Napoli still tops the table with 41 points after 16 games, holding a five-point lead over AC Milan while Inter sits fourth with 33 points.
Juventus vs Cremonese:
Arkadiusz Milik scored the winner in the 91st minute as Juventus narrowly beat Cremonese to move to third in the Serie A table.
AC Milan vs Salernitana:
Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali scored one goal apiece to help AC Milan beat Salernitana 2-1 and stay in the hunt for a second consecutive Scudetto.
