Inter Milan overcame the obstacle on which several of their rivals in the Scudetto race tripped! Juventus drew in Turin, and Lazio lost to Parma at Stadio Ennio Tardini five days ago, but Simone Inzaghi’s crew did not allow themselves to make the same mistakes.The Nerazzurri controlled the game from the start and broke Parma’s defensive wall netting shortly before and after the break, securing the three points. After grabbing a 2-0 lead behind Dimarco and Barella’s goals, it was much easier to play. By the end of the game, each team netted once more, but the scorers in either situation were Inter’s players, as Thuram netted for his team, and Darmian scored an own goal.🇫🇷✨️ Marcus Thuram in Serie A this season:🏟 15 games🧠 13 G/A⚽️ 10 goals🅰️ 3 assists pic.twitter.com/4Z4axzGieG— Football Xtra™ (@FootballXtra0) December 6, 2024 Despite Inter’s numerous chances in the first half an hour, Parma managed to hold out. Lautaro Martinez was close to conceding a penalty, but VAR ruled out the tackle had been made outside the box. Denzel Dumfries hit the post, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan wasted a decent opportunity, firing wide off the post.Inter spends most on players in Serie A, but Vlahovic is the most paid playerHowever, five minutes before the break, Parma’s custodian, Zion Suzuki, had to get the ball out of his net! Federico Dimarco and Mkhitaryan broke the visitors’ defence through the left flank, with the wing-back taking the role of an impeccable finisher for 1-0!What a goal by Dimarco.

After the second goal, it was much easier for Inter, which netted the third 11 minutes later, thanks to Marcus Thuram, who was the most resourceful in the opponents’ box after a corner!GOAL🇮🇹 | Inter 3-0 Parma | Thuram pic.twitter.com/heLPViPiOO— Kevin Highlights.
