The Old Ladies move a step closer to the Serie A title!

Just as anticipated, Saturday’s blockbuster between Inter Milan and Juventus served up its fair portion of controversies, drama, as well as good football. When all was said and done, it was Juventus who carried the day despite going behind at a point in the game against a 10-man Inter Milan-side.

The Nerazzurri, who had their midfielder Matias Vecino sent off for a foul on Mario Mandzukic, turned up the heat after Douglas Costa had opened the scoring for the visitors to take a 2-1 lead. However the advantage, which might have been enjoyed by most fans of Napoli, could not last till the end as a late deflection off Skriniar and a Gonzalo Higuain header stole the win for Massimiliano Allegri’s men.

Juventus subsequently reinstated the four-point gap between themselves and Napoli, who will play against Fiorentina on Sunday. Nonetheless, the fight is far from over for the Turin club who has three crucial games left against Bologna, Roma, and Verona in the coming weeks.

Napoli, on the other hand, will hope their antagonist drops points while they chase results against Torino, Sampdoria, and Crotone after this weekend’s fixture.
