On a high from Wednesday night’s thrilling 3–3 draw
at Barcelona, Simone Inzaghi’s side saw off Salernitana at the San Siro thanks
to goals either side of half-time from Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella.
Inter are up to seventh after their second straight
league win, and trail league leaders Atalanta by six points.
They are still without the injured
Romelu Lukaku and
midfield lynchpin Marcelo Brozovic, but do not appear to be missing either.
Martinez followed up on a strong performance at the
Camp Nou by opening the scoring in the 15th minute.
The Argentina forward lashed home his first league
goal since August after being fed by Nicolo Barella following Denzel Dumfries’
raid down the right flank.
Martinez nearly doubled Inter’s lead six minutes
after the break when he headed Hakan Calhanoglu’s free-kick just over the bar.
But Barella made sure Inter would collect the points
six minutes later and Calhanoglu was again involved with a wonderful pass.
The Turkey midfielder clipped a perfect left-footed
pass over the top, and after cutting inside Barella drilled home with his left
to net his third goal of the campaign.
Barella’s strike ended
Salernitana’s resistance and
left the away side in 12th, five points above Verona who sit just inside the
relegation zone ahead of visit of AC Milan on Sunday night.
