Inter Milan ended Napoli’s unbeaten run in Serie A after Edin Dzeko’s second half goal gave the home side all three points, according to Eurosport.

The game started with a fantastic tempo, with both sides looking to get on the ball and mount attacks.

Inter had their first big chance after just three minutes, Romelu Lukaku doing well to find Federico Dimarco who fired his effort over.

Simone Inzaghi’s side were happy to sit off Napoli, opting to patiently wait for the hosts to turn over possession before starting a counter-attack.

Napoli moved the ball well out from the back and into midfield but really struggled in the final third due to Inter’s superb defensive organisation.

Inter had another huge chance to take the lead after 26 minutes, Lukaku played in Edin Dzeko who put it on a plate for Matteo Darmian but the Italian blasted his effort over the bar.

Napoli continued to dominate possession but without creating any clear-cut opportunities.

Inter came out of the blocks quickest in the second half, pressing with much more intensity and putting Napoli under real pressure. It was a complete contrast to their performance in the first half where, despite having the best chances, they didn’t press with any real urgency or purpose.

Eleven minutes into the second half Inter deservedly took the lead, Dimarco curled in a fantastic cross from the left and Dzeko was on hand to emphatically head it past Alex Meret. The chances fell to the wrong players in the first half but on this occasion, Dzeko was the right man in the right place.
