Inter Milan climbed back into Serie A’s top four with a commanding 3-0 win over struggling Fiorentina at the San Siro, ending a two-game winless run and securing their third straight home victory against La Viola.
After a cautious start on a rain-soaked pitch, Inter gradually took control, forcing Fiorentina goalkeeper David de Gea into a string of fine saves to deny Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries. But the Spaniard could only hold out for so long.
Hakan Calhanoglu broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a powerful right-footed strike from distance that nestled into the bottom corner.
Substitute Petar Sucic added a second soon after, weaving through Fiorentina’s defence before slotting home at the near post.
Inter sealed the win from the penalty spot in the closing minutes after Mattia Viti fouled Ange-Yoan Bonny, earning a second yellow card. Calhanoglu made no mistake, sending De Gea the wrong way to complete his brace. The result lifts Inter closer to leaders Napoli and Roma, while Fiorentina’s nightmare start continues, the visitors remain winless and sit just above the relegation zone after their worst opening
