Fiorentina beat Inter 1-0 and extended their winning run across all competitions to eight games.
The first big chance of the game fell to Gaetano Castrovilli who fired a vicious volley on target which was brilliantly saved by Andre Onana.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a huge chance to put Inter ahead after 22 minutes. The Armenian ran 50 yards with the ball, beat three Fiorentina players before entering the penalty area and seeing his shot saved by Pietro Terracciano.

Inter spurned another huge chance just five minutes into the second half, the ball was fizzed across the face of goal by Alessandro Bastoni and Romelu Lukaku somehow put it wide from just a couple of yards out.
Less than five minutes later, the Viola made Inter pay for their missed opportunities by going 1-0 up. Arthur Cabral’s initial header was saved by Onana but Giacomo Bonaventura was on hand to head home the rebound.
Simone Inzaghi’s side came within inches of equalising on the hour mark, the ball bounced up for Nicolo Barella who struck a terrific effort on the volley which cannoned off the post and back into play.
Inter continued to push but Fiorentina held on for their first Serie A win against the Nerazzurri since 2017.
