With Lazio being held by Torino at home, it was the former Biancoceleste forward who turned the Nerazzurri’s possession into three points with a shot from distance that managed to find a way past Ivan Provedel.
As a result, Inter now hold a seven-point advantage for third spot – a welcome position for Luciano Spalletti’s men as they head into 2019.
