Inter Milan returned to the top of the Italian Championship thanks to their 1-0 victory at Fiorentina on Sunday during the 22nd day.
Inter won thanks to the inevitable Lautaro Martinez who, in the 14th minute, headed a corner at the near post to score his 19th goal of the season.
Fiorentina missed the equalizer on a penalty taken too weakly by Nico Gonzalez (77th).
Thanks to this 17th success, their ninth on the road having conceded only four goals, the Nerazzurri dislodged Juventus Turin from first place, held to a draw on Saturday at home by the poorly ranked Empoli (1-1).
They are one point ahead (54 pts) over the Bianconeri (53 pts) although they have played a match less, due to the Italian Super Cup which they won on Monday against Naples (1-0). ).
Simone Inzaghi’s players can drive the point home and take off next weekend: they host Juve on February 4 at the San Siro for an “Italian derby” which could be decisive in the title race.
