Inter were made to work hard for their victory against an Atalanta side far from its best, but they did just enough to get the job done and return to the summit of Serie A.

The first half ends goalless after both teams got one disallowed goal each. In the second half Lautaro, assisted by Pio Esposito, beats Carnesecchi and sends Chivu back on top.
