Inter edged out Venezia 1-0 thanks to a 65th-minute goal from skipper Lautaro Martinez who scored from a cross by Federico Dimarco. Venezia thought they had grabbed a stoppage time equaliser but Marin Sverko's effort was ruled out by VAR for a foul by the Croatian defender.
"We clearly need to be more clinical, we shouldn't find ourselves in such a situation given the number of chances we had," said Inter coach Simone Inzaghi. "This is going to be a very open championship, with several teams who can aim for the title. This kind of victory can make the difference."
Champions Inter and Napoli clash at the San Siro next Sunday. Fiorentina joined Atalanta on 22 points after Moise Kean struck in the 41st minute to give his side a 1-0 win at Torino.
Roma slipped to a 3-2 loss at the hands of Verona, a third defeat in four matches. They are 11th with 13 points with more pressure building on coach Ivan Juric who only took over in September to replace Daniele De Rossi
