Inter Milan strengthened their grip at the top of Serie A, moving six points clear with a confident 3-1 victory over Cagliari at the San Siro.
Goals from Marko Arnautovic, Lautaro Martinez, and Yann Bisseck secured the win, showcasing Inter’s clinical edge as they chase the Scudetto.
Veteran forward Arnautovic set the tone early, pouncing on a loose ball inside the penalty area and rifling an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net to give the home side the lead.
The hosts continued to assert their dominance, with Martinez doubling their advantage before the break. The Argentine’s delicate finish followed a crucial save by Yann Sommer, who denied Roberto Piccoli in a one-on-one situation moments earlier.
Cagliari’s Piccoli redeemed himself shortly after halftime, finding the net with a firm header past Sommer to ignite hopes of a comeback. However, Inter responded quickly as Yann Bisseck restored the two-goal cushion with a towering header off Federico Dimarco’s pinpoint corner, sealing the result.
The win places pressure on second-placed Napoli, who face Empoli on Monday evening and can narrow the gap to three points with a victory. Meanwhile, Cagliari remain six points above the relegation zone, but their position is precarious as rivals below them have games in hand.
