If we stick strictly to statistics, the victory of Inter Milan validated Sunday evening against Sassuolo is logical (2-1, 4th day of Serie A). But to look more closely, it is once again to note that the men of Christian Chivu have not always been serene, especially at the end of the game. This success still allows them to return to two points from European places.

If the task was more complicated than expected in the last minutes of the meeting, it is because the promoted believed in his chances to the end. Yet led from the fourteenth minute of play after the goal of Federico Dimarco, and almost underwater after the break signed Carlos Augusto (2-0, 81st), Sassuolo found the resources to reduce the gap thanks to Walid Cheddira (2-1, 84th).

The Nerazzurri then reached the fungus again, thinking of taking up two goals in advance on this ball sent to the bottom of the opposing nets by Davide Frattesi (86th), but the referee reported an offside confirmed by the Var. The score will not evolve more and Inter Milan is essential to find itself now tenth of Serie A, two points from the sixth place occupied by Cremonese.

Atalanta reacts, Fiorentina flows

Marcus Thuram's partners also take advantage of the draw conceded by Juventus, the current leader of the championship, to return to four points. A little earlier in the day, Cremonese had shared the points with Parma (0-0), while the Atalanta reassured itself after the slap inflicted by PSG in the Champions League, going to win against the Torino (0-3).

Finally, Fiorentina continues its start to the season with catastrophic air, with a stunning defeat conceded at home against Como (1-2). The Viola points to the seventeenth row with two points in four days.
