Inter silences critics, Juve stumbles

At Inter, coach Antonio Conte has repeatedly found himself in the crossfire of criticism in recent days: After the 0-2 defeat in the Champions League against Real Madrid, the Milanese are already on the verge of elimination in the group phase. But things are going much better in the league: Martinez & Co. won 3-0 against the previous high-flyers from Sassuolo. Thanks to this win, Inter and Sassuolo now share second place in the table, with both teams having 2 points. Leaders Milan (18 points) face Fiorentina on Sunday. Against Sassuolo, Inter took the lead after just four minutes: After a fine solo effort, Lautaro Martinez played into the middle, where Alexis Sanchez only had to push in. Just ten minutes later it was 2-0: With a corner cross hitting the second post, Arturo Vidal headed the ball into the middle, where Vlad Chiriches unfortunately deflected it into his own goal. Roberto Gagliardini made the decision in the 60th minute with a shot into the far corner Juve disappoints the newcomer Juventus, on the other hand, is not getting going. The Old Lady is only in 17th place in the table with 5 points. There was a setback on Saturday in a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Benevento, who were stuck in the relegation vortex. The Turin team took the lead after 21 minutes through Alvaro Morata, but shortly before the break Gaetano Letizia made it 1-1 with a remarkable volley. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was spared by coach Andrea Pirlo. In the evening game, Verona caused a surprise and brought Atalanta to its knees 2-0 away. Veloso (62nd) and Zaccagni (83rd) provided the goals.
