Inter Milan's stunning comeback win over Fiorentina keeps them level with Lazio at the top of Serie A, while Juventus claim a much-needed win away at Lecce.
I'm still reeling from Inter Milan's incredible comeback win over Fiorentina on Sunday. The Nerazzurri trailed 1-0 going into stoppage time, but Marcus Thuram levelled the scores in the 91st minute and Piotr Zielinski converted a penalty in the 98th minute to seal a 2-1 victory.
The Comeback Kings
This was Inter's fifth comeback win of the season, and it's clear that they have the grit and determination to turn games around. Despite conceding for the 10th time this season, head coach Cristian Chivu remained unconcerned by his side's defensive issues.
Juventus Breathe a Sigh of Relief
In Lecce, Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz scored to secure a 2-0 win for Juventus, lifting them into seventh place on 14 points. This much-needed victory will come as a relief to head coach Luciano Spalletti and his underperforming players.
Inter Strike Late to Keep Pace with Dramatic Comeback Wins
The Nerazzurri had been struggling to find a way past David de Gea in goal for Fiorentina, but it was Alex Jimenez who took debutant Inter goalkeeper Ivan Provedel by surprise with an audacious angled strike from distance.
What's also striking is that this was Inter's fifth comeback win of the season, and head coach Cristian Chivu seems to be handling the pressure well. He told DAZN that "sometimes you concede" in football, but what I find interesting is how he's keeping his players' spirits up despite their defensive issues.
I'm also curious about Juventus' win over Lecce - it was a much-needed victory for them after a run of one win in five league games. Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz scored to secure the 2-0 win, but I wonder if this will be enough to lift the pressure off head coach Luciano Spalletti and his players.
The question now is whether Inter can maintain their lead at the top of Serie A. With Lazio level on points, it's clear that this season is going to be a thrilling one for fans of Italian football.
