McTominay Rejects Inter, Conte Sent Off – Serie A Roundup

Inter and Napoli settled on Sunday in a summit meeting, where the Milan team had a chance to extend their league lead in Serie A.

It started well for Inter with a lead goal already in the ninth minute by Federico Dimarco, but then Scotsman Scott McTominay equalized for Napoli to 1-1 and level at half-time in Milan.

In the second half it heated up even more.

Amir Rrahmani brought down Henrich Mchitarjan in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty for Inter. This in turn caused Napoli coach Antonio Conte to react forcefully on the side of the field and subsequently received a red card. Turk Hakan Calhanoglu was in turn cool and gave Inter the lead to 2-1.

Inter then and there looked to salvage an important three-pointer, but in the 81st minute McTominay became a two-goal scorer for the final score 2-2.

Inter top the table with three points down on Milan in second place in Serie A. Napoli are in third place and four points up on Inter.

Startelvor:

Inter: Sommer – Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni – Henrique, Barella, Çalhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco – Thuram, Lautaro Martínez.

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic – Beukema, Rrahmani, Jesus – Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, McTominay, Spinazzola – Politano, Højlund, Elmas.
