Two own goals late in the match

Venezia, who had collected only three points this season before the match, looked more dangerous in attack for a long time and could have opened the scoring. However, Inter’s dangerous deliveries in the decisive minutes led to two own goals within two minutes.

After the victory, the reigning champions have 25 points and are level with Lazio. On Saturday, Inter are due to play Milan in the Milan derby.
