Udinese pulls off a remarkable victory over Inter, with goals from Davis and Atta securing a 2-1 comeback triumph
In a dramatic turn of events at the San Siro, Udinese secured a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan, ending a seven-year losing streak against the Nerazzurri. The last time Udinese tasted success against Inter away from home was on May 19, 2013, in a thrilling 5-2 victory.
The latest encounter saw Udinese start the game strongly, taking a 2-1 lead in the first half. Keinan Davis opened the scoring for Udinese from the penalty spot, and Arthur Atta doubled their advantage before half-time. Denzel Dumfries scored for Inter in the 17th minute, but his goal was later ruled out due to a handball from a set-piece.
Inter laid siege to Udinese's area in the closing stages of the game, with Nicolo Barella and Carlos Augusto both having opportunities to equalize. However, Udinese held on bravely, showing great resilience and determination to secure the win.
The victory lifts Udinese to fifth in the early-season standings, having begun the campaign with two wins from two games. Four teams currently sit at the top of the table with maximum points - Napoli, Juventus, Cremonese, and Roma.
Inter, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the Serie A season, having started with a draw against Roma. The loss was a disappointing one for Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, who had previously gone unbeaten in his first two games in charge. Inzaghi's predecessor, Cristian Chivu, had the opportunity to join an exclusive club of Inter coaches who won their first two Serie A games without conceding a goal, but was unsuccessful.
The result sees Udinese go into the international break with four points, while Inter will be looking to bounce back when they return to action after the break. The next fixture for Udinese is a home game against Lazio, while Inter face a tough away trip to Napoli.
