Inter Milan stumbled to a defeat at home to Sassuolo on Sunday, denying them the chance to return to the top of Serie A.

After Giacomo Raspadori drilled a shot past goalkeeper Samir Handanovic after just eight minutes, Gianluca Scamacca headed into the net when unmarked to extend Sassuolo’s lead.

Inter were all over the place when Domenico Berardi’s effort hit the crossbar, and could have gone into the break 3-0 down.

The hosts heaped on the pressure after the break, with goalkeeper Andrea Consigli making several superb saves to keep the visitors in control.
