Inter rally late to down Fiorentina

Alex Jimenez's rocket strike had struggling Fiorentina heading for a shock win at San Siro, but Marcus Thuram levelled in the 91st minute before winning a penalty that Piotr Zielinski converted in the 98th minute.The result lifted Inter to first place, level with surprise fellow pace-setters Lazio on 22 points, while the Florence club's winless run stretched to four games to keep them in 18th spot.Later, Juventus claimed a 2-0….

Inter's fifth comeback win of the season saw them concede for the 10th time, but head coach Cristian Chivu was unconcerned by his side's defensive issues."That's football: sometimes you concede," Chivu told DAZN.

"The important thing is not to let your heads drop and to maintain the same mentality.

But they bounced back as Weston McKennie steered home a Douglas Luiz free-kick before the Brazilian midfielder scored one of his own by whipping a shot into the bottom corner before the break.Lecce threatened in the second half but their evening ended on a sour note when Kialonda Gasper was sent off in the final minute.

"We had a very good game in terms of playing quick, heads-up football," Spalletti said to Sky Sport."We dropped off a bit with our management of the second half and then everything became more difficult because we had less courage.
