Alex Jimenez’s rocket strike had struggling Fiorentina heading for a shock win at San Siro, but Marcus Thuram levelled in the 91st minute before winning a penalty that Piotr Zielinski converted in the 98th minute. Inter Milan struck twice in stoppage time to complete a remarkable 2-1 comeback win over Fiorentina and return to the summit of Serie A on Sunday, while Juventus and AC Milan both bounced back with victories. The result lifted Inter to first place, level with surprise fellow pace-setters Lazio on 22 points, while the Florence club’s winless run stretched to four games to keep them in 18th spot.
Last weekend’s humbling 3-0 defeat at home to Lazio left Juve in mid-table with one win in five league games, and a 2-2 midweek Europa League draw with Rennes did little to improve the mood in Turin. There was an eight-goal thriller in Bergamo as Atalanta and Frosinone played out a 4-4 draw, while Genoa beat bottom side Venezia 1-0 to climb out of the relegation zone.
“We had a very good game in terms of playing quick, heads-up football,” Spalletti said to Sky Sport.
But they bounced back as Weston McKennie steered home a Douglas Luiz free-kick before the Brazilian midfielder scored one of his own by whipping a shot into the bottom corner before the break.
“We need time to work on several things, but we don’t have time sometimes even to address the problems we had in the last game,” Milan coach Ruben Amorim told DAZN.
