Federico Dimarco (L) celebrating the openerInter Milan recorded their first victory since the opening weekend of the Serie A season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sassuolo at San Siro. Federico Dimarco gave Inter an early lead, finishing calmly after Petar Sucic’s unselfish assist. Inter thought they had restored their two-goal cushion within a minute, but Davide Frattesi’s strike was ruled out for offside. The Nerazzurri held firm in the closing stages to secure their first win since a 5-0 thrashing of Torino on 25 August. The result lifts Inter to 10th place in Serie A on six points from four matches, while Sassuolo sit 14th with three points.
