Inter stun Fiorentina 2-1 with Thuram and Zielinski late, late goals
Post
📰 Inter turned a 1-0 deficit into a win with two stoppage-time goals and returned to the top.
📌 Key points
😱 Alex Jiménez's long-range strike put Fiorentina 1-0 up on 65 minutes.
⚡ Thuram levelled in the 91st minute after a one-two with Diouf.
🎯 Zieliński scored a late penalty won by Thuram.
🏆 Seven wins and a draw from eight: 22 points, level with Lazio.
🧤 Summer signing Ivan Provedel made his Inter debut.
📝 What happened
🧱 Inter pressed for most of the Serie A matchday-8 game at San Siro, which kicked off at 12.30 on 25 October. David de Gea denied Pio Esposito and Thuram, and Carlos Augusto headed against the crossbar.
😱 Instead, Fiorentina's Alex Jiménez curled in a long-range shot in the 65th minute. Debutant Provedel saved from Gnonto at close range in the 79th to keep it at 1-0.
⚡ Thuram equalised with a left-footed finish in the 91st minute after a one-two with Diouf. Late in stoppage time Thuram was brought down by Valdepeñas from an Akanji cross, and Zieliński converted the penalty.
🗣️ Zieliński said he "felt calm and confident" and that the team are "not bothered by the criticism".
📊 By the numbers
• Inter: 7 wins and 1 draw from 8 league games, 22 points (joint top with Lazio)
• Thuram has scored in 7 straight home league games at San Siro, equalling Lukaku (record: Vieri, 11)
• Inter's third comeback win after the 90th minute (Sampdoria 2005, Cesena 2011)
• 13 points won from losing positions this season
🔭 Why it matters
It underlined that refusing to give up is this Inter side's biggest weapon. Fiorentina, by contrast, are 18th and without a league win in four. Inter face AC Milan in the derby on 31 October.
