"Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal as Inter moved six points clear at the top of Serie A with a 1-0 victory over Udinese at Bluenergy Stadium. With second-placed AC Milan not in action until Sunday, Inter ensured they pulled further clear of their city rivals thanks to Martinez's 11th goal of the season in the 20th minute. Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye thwarted Martinez in the fourth minute before Federico Dimarco's stunning volley from Nicolo Barella's cross flashed wide of the right post."
"And having missed an earlier header, Martinez broke the deadlock with a prodded finish into the bottom-right corner after collecting Francesco Pio Esposito's exquisite lay-off. Dimarco then forced Okoye into another smart stop as Cristian Chivu's side ended the first half in the ascendancy, but they were unable to double their advantage. An early mistake from Thomas Kristensen after the break offered Inter a chance to increase their lead, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan's attempt was palmed to safety by Okoye."
Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal as Inter defeated Udinese 1-0 at Bluenergy Stadium, moving six points clear at the top of Serie A. Martinez finished Francesco Pio Esposito’s lay-off for his 11th goal of the season in the 20th minute. Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye produced several important saves, denying Martinez early and palming a Henrikh Mkhitaryan effort. Federico Dimarco threatened with a volley and forced another stop. Inter controlled much of the first half, created few clear chances after the break, and limited Udinese to five shots and a cumulative 0.5 xG. All three of Esposito’s Serie A assists this season have been converted by Martinez, and Inter are unbeaten in nine league matches.
