Inter cruise past Roma to secure their place on the second place of the Serie A table.

Inter defeated Roma with a 3-0 result in their Serie A game on Saturday. The Nerazzurri keep the tension alive on top of the table as they sit one point away from AC Milan.

Inter are unstoppable!

Inter came into the match on the back of a three-game winning streak. The Nerazzurri made sure to show their dominance right from the start as they gained possession early on.

Hakan Calhanoglu scored the opener straight from the corner spot before Edin Dzeko doubled Inter’s lead six minutes later. Roma’s backline looked completely shattered after conceding the second goal, while Inter used their opponents’ inconsistency to their benefit.

Simone Inzaghi’s men did not wait for the second half to secure the three points. Alessandro Bastoni’s searching cross from the right side of the box found a flying Denzel Dumfries in the perfect spot. The Netherlands international smashed the ball into the back of the net to register his first goal of the season.

Roma tried to mount a comeback in the second half but remained too cautious of the guests’ counter-attacks. Inter had the chance to extend their lead further, but they were not clinical enough in front of the goal.

The victory sends Inter to second place on the table, two points behind Milan. On the other hand, Roma suffer back-to-back defeats to stay fifth. The Nerazzurri will face Real Madrid in a Champions League game on Tuesday, while Roma will meet CSKA Sofia in Europa League.
