Inter Milan on cusp of first scudetto since 2010 after Crotone win
Inter Milan moved to within touching distance of the Serie A title with a 2-0 win against Crotone – the result saw the hosts relegated back to Serie B.
In an open game full of chances for both sides, Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez both hit the post for the visitors, and Stefano Sensi forced three good saves from home goalkeeper Alex Cordaz.
Crotone came out with intent: anything but a win would have sent them down – and Adam Ounas and prolific target man Simeon Nwankwo tried their best to ruffle Inter’s defensive feathers, but came up short as they fell to a fatal defeat.
