Inter bounces back with win over Fiorentina
Inter returned to winning ways in Serie A with a 3-0 victory against Fiorentina at the San Siro.
After falling to a 3-1 defeat against Napoli at the weekend, goals from Hakan Calhanoglu either side of Petar Sucic's strike saw the hosts move up to third in the league, three points behind the reigning champion and Roma.
It was a quiet opening 45 minutes from both sides, but David De Gea was still called upon by his team as the visiting goalkeeper denied Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco ahead of the break.
Inter piled the pressure on at the start of the second half and should have taken the lead through Dimarco, but the marauding defender somehow fired wide of the target following a cutback from Lautaro Martinez.
The pressure eventually told on De Gea's net soon after the hour mark, with Calhanoglu finding space on the edge of the box before picking out the bottom corner, leaving the Spaniard with no chance of saving it in the 66th minute.
Five minutes later, Sucic doubled their advantage after rolling the ball past Pietro Comuzzo in the box before finishing past De Gea with ease.
Calhanoglu then wrapped up the scoring from the penalty spot, sending his effort from 12 yards beyond the reach of De Gea after Mattia Viti was shown a second yellow card following a foul on Ange-Yoan Bonny in the box.
