Inter topples Torino to keep pressure on Napoli
Inter applied the pressure on Napoli by moving level on points with the Serie A leader with a 2-0 victory over Torino.
With the Partenopei playing Genoa later in the day, the Nerazzurri took full advantage with goals from Nicola Zalewski and Kristjan Asllani putting them back on level terms with Antonio Conte's side.
Fresh from reaching the Champions League final in dramatic fashion in midweek, Inter broke the deadlock in the 14th minute as Zalewski curled a brilliant 20-yard shot into the bottom corner.
The host went in search of the equaliser and Valentino Lazaro and Adam Masina both should have done better from close range, while Josep Martinez brilliantly denied Che Adams' header in first-half stoppage time.
Simone Inzaghi's side doubled its lead within four minutes of the restart, which was delayed slightly as the referee undertook a further pitch inspection following a heavy downpour.
Asllani calmly sent Vanja Milinkovic-Savic the wrong way from the penalty spot, after the Torino goalkeeper fouled Mehdi Taremi.
Milinkovic-Savic did come to Il Toro's rescue to prevent Inter from stretching their lead, thwarting Joaquin Correa's half-volley in the process.
Torino almost had the final word, but Adam Masina's acrobatic effort in stoppage time was ruled out for a foul in the build-up, as Inter kept its title bid very much alive.
