Inter Milan claimed the top spot in Serie A on Sunday with a decisive 2-0 victory against Lazio at the San Siro. The win propels Inter to the league’s summit, tied on 24 points with AS Roma, who earlier defeated Udinese by the same scoreline.
Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring just three minutes into the match, expertly curling a shot into the far corner from inside the box.The Argentine captain’s early goal set the tone for Inter’s dominant performance.
Inter extended their advantage in the 62nd minute when Federico Dimarco’s low cross found Ange-Yoan Bonny unmarked at the back post for an easy tap-in.
A potential third goal for Inter, scored by Piotr Zielinski, was disallowed due to a handball by Dimarco in the preceding play. Lazio attempted to mount a comeback, with Mario Gila’s header striking the underside of the crossbar, but Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer swiftly secured the ball, preventing a goal.
The results leave AC Milan and Napoli closely trailing with 22 points each, while Bologna occupies fifth place with 21.
