Martinez, Bonny send Inter top of Serie A
Inter moved top of Serie A after goals from Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny secured a 2-0 win over Lazio at San Siro.
Cristian Chivu's side dominated throughout and was only denied a bigger win by VAR, which ruled out Piotr Zielinski's effort.
It took just three minutes for Inter to break the deadlock, with Martinez rifling a stunning first-time finish into the top-right corner of the net under little pressure from Lazio's defence.
Mattia Zaccagni then blazed over the visitor's best first-half chance, before Petar Sucic guided a first-time volley wide of the right post after Nicolo Barella picked him out following a counter-attack.
Matteo Guendouzi then forced Yann Sommer into a low save early in the second half, but Inter got their second goal in the 61st minute, as Federico Dimarco laid it on a plate for Bonny to turn into an empty net from yards out.
Six minutes later, Inter was denied a third. The host countered quickly and Zielinski picked out the bottom-right corner with a pinpoint strike, but the goal did not count as Dimarco handled the ball in the build-up.
Lazio attempted a late fightback with Mario Gila rising high, only for his header to hit the underside of the bar and bounce away from the goal line, before Sommer made a smothering save to deny Luca Pellegrini late on.
