A strong away win for Inter against Cagliari the last match, as Romelu Lukaku, Nicolò Barella and Danilo D'Ambrosio were on target. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Champions League home game that ended 0-0 versus Shakhtar Donetsk.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager I. Gattuso when Andrea Petagna scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
