Inter tightened their grip on the Serie A title race with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Udinese. Goals from Arnautovic and Frattesi put the Nerazzurri in control before Solet pulled one back for the hosts. Despite late drama and the red card shown to coach Simone Inzaghi, Inter claimed their 20th league win, moving six points clear of their closest rivals.
That rival remains Napoli, who answered the pressure with a 2-1 win over Milan at the Maradona. Politano opened the scoring inside two minutes after a defensive mix-up, and Lukaku doubled the lead before the 20-minute mark. Milan offered a late response with Jovic, but had earlier missed a penalty with Gimenez, denied by Meret. Napoli keep pace and show they're not done fighting for the Scudetto.
Elsewhere, Fiorentina kept their European hopes alive by defeating Atalanta 1-0 thanks to another goal from Moise Kean, who continued his brilliant week after his brace for Italy. The Viola took advantage of a costly mistake by Hien, while the visitors failed to impress in attack despite fielding Retegui and Lookman. Atalanta’s title dreams now look all but over.
