Inter Milan has strengthened its grip on the Serie A title race, securing a vital 1-0 away win against Udinese on Saturday. Lautaro Martinez's first-half strike proved to be the difference, propelling Inter to a commanding six-point lead at the summit of the Italian league table.
The victory amplifies Inter's confidence heading into a critical week, which includes a significant Champions League fixture against Arsenal on Tuesday. Despite their strong domestic form, Inter will aim to improve their recent record in Europe's elite competition, having suffered two consecutive defeats.
Manager Cristian Chivu opted for squad rotation against Udinese, featuring Pio Esposito alongside Martinez in attack. The pair combined effectively for the game's only goal. While Federico Dimarco had a second-half effort disallowed for offside, the single goal was enough to secure all three points.
