Inter retake top spot as Venezia's two own goals hand them the win
Matías Moreno and Halhal scored the own goals in Venice, and Inter overtake Lazio on goals scored before the Milan derby.
Inter retook the Serie A lead with a 0-2 win over bottom side Venezia at the Pier Luigi Penzo, thanks to two own goals by the hosts: Matías Moreno in the 79th minute and Halhal in the 82nd. According to Mundo Deportivo, Chivu's side moved above Lazio, who had thrashed Sassuolo 6-2 on Tuesday, on goals scored. Both teams have dropped only one draw in eight rounds.
Inter were sluggish without the injured Lautaro Martínez, and Chivu rested Bisseck, Barella and Çalhanoglu ahead of Saturday's derby against Milan. Aleksandar Stankovic started and faced his brother Filip, Venezia's goalkeeper. The hosts had the better chances: Provedel deflected a Lauerbach shot onto the crossbar with his thigh, and the VAR ruled out another Lauerbach goal for offside.
With a quarter of an hour left, Marcus Thuram, named MVP, came close with a header that hit the post.
