INTER BEAT FIORENTINA TO GO TOP OF SERIE A

Lautaro Martinez scored his 124th Inter Milan goal as Simone Inzaghi’s side returned to the top of the Serie A table following a 1-0 victory at Fiorentina.

The Argentine struck in the early stages with a clever header from a corner to net his fifth goal in as many games.

Both sides had clear-cut chances in the game and Fiorentina threatened Inter regularly, but Yann Sommer made some important stops which included a save from the penalty spot.

The Swiss goalkeeper clattered into M’Bala Nzola, but Nico Gonzalez - who made his return off the bench after a six-week absence - missed with a tame effort.

Inter held on for a crucial three points which takes them above Juventus and into first.
