Inter make late strikes to maintain perfect start

MILAN: Inter Milan scored twice in the last 10 minutes to claim a fortuitous 2-0 win at lowly Crotone on Saturday and extend their perfect start to the Serie A season.

Milan Skriniar and Ivan Perisic were on target for Inter as Luciano Spalletti’s side survived a difficult second half in torrid conditions to make it four wins out of four.

Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic made difficult saves from Aleksandar Tonev either side of halftime as Crotone, the only team still to score this season.

But, after barely threatening in the second half, Skriniar put Inter ahead in the 82nd minute, scoring at the third attempt after he miscued the first then had the second charged down before finally sticking the ball past Alex Cordaz.

Perisic grabbed a second for the visitors in stoppage time.
