Serie A champions Inter picked up a vital 2-1 win over Udinese today and it could prove to be a vital three points in the title race.
As a result of the win, Inter rose to six points above chasers Napoli but it is also key because the Partenopei take on Milan later today in what could be a decisive game for Antonio Conteโs side and their chase for the Scudetto.
Yann Sommer had made an impressive save off Lorenzo Lucca during Interโs win and it came at a point when the Friulians had made it 2-1 through Oumar Solet. But the Swiss goalkeeperโs efforts made sure that Inter picked up all three points.
Sommer spoke to the press after the win and described it as a win that can be huge in the context of the campaign.
He said, via TMW: โWe are happy to have played a good first half, we were in control of the match. In the second half we suffered, it is important to have brought home the three points.โ
When asked about the value of todayโs win for the table, he said: โCertainly, todayโs victory is important for the standings. In any case, we have our heads ahead of the standings: the match against Udinese weighs a lot in this part of the season.โ
If Napoli fail to beat Milan today, Inter will definitely extend their lead at the top of the table to over three points. The Nerazzurriโs remaining few games come against opposition from the lower half of the table and this can hand them a major advantage in the title race.
