Inter leaves it late to clinch deserved win
Inter recorded a hard-fought 3-1 win over Chievo at San Siro as Ivan Perisic and Eder struck late to deliver the win.
The San Siro side's four-game winning streak in Serie A looked like coming to an end after some impressive goalkeeping from Stefano Sorrentino, but Perisic handed his side the lead with five minutes remaining before Eder put the match to bed in stoppage time.
The Nerazzurri had climbed up to seventh place in the table after its recent good run of form, just five points behind third to revive its UEFA Champions League hopes.
Things did not go as expected for Stefano Pioli's side in the opening 45 minutes, though. It created chance after chance, but it was the visitor which went a goal ahead when Sergio Pellissier found the net from a corner.
Inter pushed hard for an equaliser and eventually got what it deserved with 20 minutes left, Mauro Icardi netting his 15th goal of the season, before Perisic and Eder sealed the win in the closing stages to lift the host into sixth.
