Late Dimarco screamer sees Parma upset Inter
Inter Milan's poor start to the Serie A season continued as Federico Dimarco's stunning late strike saw it suffer a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Parma, which claimed a first win back in the top flight.
Luciano Spalletti's men appeared to kick-start their campaign with a 3-0 win at Bologna before the international break, but they were wasteful in front of goal and ultimately paid the price.
The absence of Mauro Icardi, who could only make the bench because of a recent thigh injury, seemed to be felt particularly in the first half, when Inter crafted several chances but failed to convert any of them.
Parma became more defensively minded after half-time and Inter struggled to break it down, and the hosts were caught out late on.
Dimarco, who previously denied Ivan Perisic a certain goal, struck from long range 11 minutes from time and secured Parma a first win over Inter at San Siro since 1999.
