Inter are currently unbeatable in Serie A and last weekend, they thrashed Monza 5-1 as visitors. The party of the leaders starts in the 12th minute with a penalty goal from Hakan Calhanoglu. 

Two minutes later, Federico Dimarco crossed for Lautaro Martinez, who fired home from close range for the second. Calhanoglu repeated in the 60th minute after an assist from Marcus Thuram in the box. Matteo Pessina scored from the penalty spot in the 69th minute for the home club, but Lautaro scored his second in the 84th minute, also from the spot, and Thuram closed the scoring with a hook and a shot to the near post (88.’) 

The ‘Neroazurro’ are the all-conquering Italian leaders with 51 points and extended their unbeaten run in the league to 14.

At home, Fiorentina missed the opportunity to remain strong in the fight to qualify for the next Champions League and drew 2-2 with one of the worst teams in Serie A, Udinese. 

The visitors took the lead with a Sandi Lovrić goal after 10 minutes, while Lucas Beltran equalized at 55′ with a header at the far post. Florian Thauvin scored the visitors’ second in the 73rd minute, and M’Bala Nzola equalized from the penalty spot (87.’) 

The ‘Viola’ held on to fourth place with 34 points, one more than Lazio, who beat Lecce 1-0, and Atalanta, who crushed Frosinone (5-0). Udinese is 16th with 18 points, one more than the last team to be relegated: Verona.

AC Milan made their home ground respected and defeated Jose Mourinho’s Roma 3-1, so they remain firm in their third place in Serie A. Precisely this was Mou’s last game as he was sacked on Tuesday after three matches without a win, including a Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Lazio. 

The ‘Rossoneri’ opened the account after 11 minutes with a shot by Yacine Adli on the edge of the box. Olivier Giroud made the second at 56′ after sending Simon Kjaer’s header into the net, and Milan’s third was scored by Theo Hernandez, after Giroud’s backheel (84′). 

The only goal for the ‘Loba’ came at 59′ from a penalty taken by midfielder Leandro Paredes. 

Milan is third with 42 points, far from Inter’s 51, and Roma is ninth with 29 points with eight wins, five draws, and seven defeats, which is why the board decided to dispense with the services of the Portuguese coach, who was a Conference League champion and Europa League finalist with the team.
