Inter Milan temporarily drew level with Serie A pacesetters Napoli with a comfortable 2-0 victory against mid-table Torino. Despite bad weather, the Nerazzurri strolled to a third consecutive victory at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to stay alive in the Scudetto race.<\/strong><\/p>\n Though often stubborn tactical-wise, Simone Inzaghi slightly altered his favorite 3-5-2 formation following a tiresome midweek in the Champions League. Inter needed extra-time to overcome runaway La Liga leaders Barcelona in the semi-final<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to losing captain Lautaro Martinez to a minor fitness issue, Inter had to cope with the absences of Davide Frattesi, Benjamin Pavard, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.<\/p>\n However, they enjoyed a perfect start as Nicola Zalewski slotted home a delightful mid-range strike to open the scoring in the 14th minute. The scoreline didn\u2019t change before the 50th minute when Kristjan Asllani doubled the visitors\u2019 lead from the spot.<\/p>\n There was never a way back into the game for Torino, even though they created several presentable opportunities.\u00a0Without further ado, let\u2019s jump to our Inter ratings.<\/p>\n Josep Martinez \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite several dangerous plays inside Inter\u2019s box, the Spaniard barely had to intervene, making just one save in the opening hour. Made light worko of both subsequent attempts.<\/p>\n Alessandro Bastoni \u2013 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Not even horrendous weather conditions could knock the Italian defender off his perch as he dominated his penalty area with authority. Superb in the air and clinical in tackling!<\/p>\n Stefan de Vrij \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n The Dutch veteran delivered another reassuring performance to keep Che Adamas at arm\u2019s length. Calm and collected, he was the cornerstone of Inter\u2019s impregnable backline.<\/p>\n Yann Bisseck \u2013 5.5<\/strong><\/p>\n Subbed off at halftime as fatigue kicked in, plus he picked up a needless booking toward the end of the first half.<\/p>\n Carlos Augusto \u2013 6<\/strong><\/p>\n After a lively start to the game, the Brazilian dropped his attacking ambitions to focus on helping Inter keep hold of a slender advantage.<\/p>\n Nicola Zalewski \u2013 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite playing slightly out of position, the Roma loanee scored his first goal for Inter, and it was spectacular, as he beat Vanja Milinkovic-Savic with a stunning curling effort.<\/p>\n Kristjan Asllani \u2013 6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n Far less eventful than last weekend against Hellas Verona, the Albanian playmaker had a rough game. Couldn\u2019t find any killer pass but put away another penalty to put daylight between the sides.<\/p>\n Matteo Darmian \u2013 5.5<\/strong><\/p>\n His defensive oversight nearly allowed Adam Masina to draw Torino level midway through the first half. Completely irrelevant on the opposite end of the pitch.<\/p>\n Piotr Zielinski \u2013 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Back to the starting line-up after a brief layoff due to injury, the Polish midfielder showed signs of rustiness and barely influenced the play on a rainy evening in Turin.<\/p>\n Joaquin Correa \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n The Argentine\u2019s dreadful form continues. A near-anonymous performance from the ex-Lazio star, who\u2019s on the verge of ending his nightmarish stint at Inter. Wasted a glorious chance to make it 3-0 and then some!<\/p>\n Mehdi Taremi \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n Nearly scored a stunning overhead kick at the start of the second half but drew a crucial penalty moments later. Despite failing to score, the Iranian was outstanding in the link-up play.<\/p>\n Denzel Dumfries \u2013 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Federico Dimarco \u2013 6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n Hakan Calhanoglu \u2013 6.5<\/strong><\/p>\nInter (3-4-2-1)<\/h2>\n
