Juventus
and
Inter
entered
Sunday’s
match
13
and
11
points
adrift
of
the
Serie
A
summit
respectively,
but
the
Nerazzurri
began
with
more
urgency
and
missed
several
clear
chances
before
half-time.
However,
Massimiliano
Allegri’s
hosts
improved
after
Adrien
Rabiot’s
side-footed
finish
put
them
ahead
against
the
run
of
play,
and
21-year-old
midfielder
Fagioli
made
the
points
safe
with
a
late
deflected
effort.

The
result
lifted
Juventus
above
Inter
into
Serie
A’s
top
five,
leaving
Simone
Inzaghi’s
men
–
runners-up
last
term
–
languishing
in
seventh
place.
Lautaro
Martinez
hammered
a
left-footed
volley
wide
as
Inter
started
well,
before
Bremer
hit
the
side-netting
when
Juventus
created
a
rare
opening
at
the
other
end.
Edin
Dzeko
headed
wide
of
the
top-left
corner
as
the
home
crowd
began
to
grow
frustrated,
and
Denzel
Dumfries
should
have
put
Inter
ahead
when
firing
over
from
six
yards
out
as
half-time
approached.
Inter
again
went
close
again
when
Hakan
Calhanoglu
forced
Wojciech
Szczesny
into
an
acrobatic
save
from
range,
but
Juventus
punished
their
profligacy
as
Rabiot
turned
Filip
Kostic’s
cut-back
into
the
bottom-right
corner
after
52
minutes.
That
goal
lifted
Juventus,
who
were
denied
a
second
goal
when
a
VAR
review
spotted
a
handball
by
Danilo
following
his
volleyed
finish,
before
Szczesny
denied
Martinez
with
his
legs.
The
Bianconeri
went
close
to
doubling
their
lead
through
Kostic,
who
saw
his
shot
turned
onto
the
post
by
Andre
Onana,
but
the
Serbian
turned
provider
once
more
as
Juventus
wrapped
up
the
win,
teeing
up
Fagioli
for
his
dream
goal.
What
does
it
mean?
Juventus’ revival
continues
Allegri
appeared
to
be
facing
a
battle
to
keep
his
job
after
overseeing
Juventus’
meek
group-stage
exit
from
the
Champions
League,
but
the
Bianconeri
have
staged
a
remarkable
revival
on
the
domestic
front
in
recent
weeks.
Juventus
have
now
won
four
consecutive
Serie
A
games
without
conceding,
keeping
four
successive
clean
sheets
in
the
competition
for
the
first
time
since
December
2018
(when
they
recorded
a
run
of
six
shutout
wins
in
a
row).
Meanwhile,
Inter
remain
11
points
adrift
of
league
leaders
Napoli,
and
their
chances
of
mounting
another
serious
title
bid
appear
slim.
Breakout
performance
for
Fagioli
With
the
injured
Paul
Pogba
missing
the
entirety
of
Juventus’
season
to
date,
the
Bianconeri
have
been
crying
out
for
a
new
midfield
star,
and
they
may
just
have
found
one
in
Fagioli.
As
well
as
making
the
points
safe
with
his
late
effort,
the
Bianconeri
academy
product
produced
a
composed
performance
throughout,
creating
two
chances
and
completing
a
team-high
93
per
cent
of
his
28
passes
attempted.
Rabiot
follows
Platini
and
Zidane
Rabiot’s
neat
finish
proved
the
turning
point
after
Inter
controlled
the
opening
period,
and
saw
the
27-year-old
join
an
exclusive
club
of
French
midfielders
to
have
scored
for
Juventus
in
the
Derby
d’Italia.
Before
Sunday’s
game,
legendary
duo
Michel
Platini
and
Zinedine
Zidane
were
the
only
two
French
midfielders
to
have
found
the
net
for
the
Bianconeri
against
Inter
in
a
Serie
A
match.
What’s
next?
Inter
host
Bologna
in
their
next
Serie
A
game
on
Wednesday
(November
9),
while
Juventus
go
to
Verona
the
following
day.
