Inter win five-goal thriller against Juventus

Inter have won the Italian derby against Juventus in the 25th round of Serie A.

The “Nerazzurri” claimed all three points with a 3-2 victory in a match in which the visitors had one player fewer from the 42nd minute.

Inter took an early lead thanks to an own goal by Andrea Cambiaso, who scored into his own net while attempting to clear the ball (17’).

But nine minutes later, the Italian made amends for his mistake by scoring after an assist from Weston McKennie (26’).

Inter then had a golden opportunity through Bastoni, but the latter hit the post from close range.

Things got worse for the visitors when Pierre Kalulu received a second yellow card and was consequently sent off (42’).

The second half was more evenly matched, but became dramatic in the final minutes. Francesco Pio Esposito restored the lead after an assist from Dimarco (76’).

However, Juventus did not give up and got back into the game through Manuel Locatelli, after another assist from McKennie (83’).

Just when everyone expected the match to end in a draw, Zielinski stepped up and scored after a fantastic assist from Bisseck to claim all three points (90’).

Thus, Inter remain top with 61 points, while Juventus drop to fifth place with 46.
