Serie A: Inter Milan beats Sassuolo 5-0, Juventus steals a point against Lazio

Inter Milan defeated 10-man Sassuolo 5-0 on Sunday to extend their lead in Serie A to eight points over AC Milan, which did not play this weekend due to the Olympic Games in Milan Cortina.

Yann Bisseck and Marcus Thuram scored for Inter in the first half. Lautaro Martínez, Manuel Akanji and Luis Henrique added goals in the second half to give Inter their fifth straight win in all competitions.

Federico Dimarco contributed with three assists.

Sassuolo recorded two consecutive victories after a run of seven winless matches. From the 54th minute onwards, the game was played with 10 men after Nemanja Matic received a second yellow card. The hosts, who were in eleventh place, had only one goal attempt.

Second-place Milan were unable to host Como this weekend after the San Siro stadium was used for the opening ceremony of the Winter Games. That issue prompted Serie A to consider moving the match to Perth, Australia. The game will now be played on February 18.

Juventus drew 2-2 with Lazio later on Sunday, with Pierre Kalulu scoring the equalizer in second-half stoppage time to secure a point for the Old Lady of Turin.

Christian Ordóñez scored an injury-time winner as 14th-placed Parma beat 10th-placed Bologna, with both teams having a player sent off.

Bologna were a man down after Tommaso Pobega’s dismissal in the first half, and Parma saw Mariano Troilo depart in the 79th pdf view.

It was the fourth league defeat in a row for Bologna. Parma had not won four times in a row.

Lecce, in 17th place and just outside the relegation zone, ended an eight-match winless streak by beating ninth-place Udinese 2-1 at home thanks to Lameck Banda’s 90th-minute winner.
