Inter Milan Tops Serie A After Narrow Victory Over Roma
Ange-Yoan Bonny's early goal propelled Inter Milan to a narrow victory over Roma, placing them at the top of Serie A on goal difference.
The French striker scored in the sixth minute, receiving a through ball from Nicolo Barella and skillfully placing it into the near corner.
Inter Milan nearly doubled their lead when Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck the woodwork with a shot from Davide Frattesi's cutback in the 91st minute.
Roma, who could have claimed sole possession of the Serie A lead with a win, had their best opportunity in the 59th minute when Artem Dovbyk headed over the bar following a corner.
As a result, Roma remains level on points with both Inter and Napoli.
Earlier on Saturday, Napoli suffered their second defeat of the season, with Giovanni Simeone—son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego—leading Torino to a 1-0 victory over the defending champions. Napoli was without former Manchester United players Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay due to injuries.
