MILAN - Second-half goals by Danilo D'Ambrosio and Ivan Perisic gave Inter a fourth straight home win to keep up the pressure on Roma in third place ahead of next Saturday's showdown at the Olimpico.
After a goalless first half, Perisic nodded home following a corner to open the scoring in the 72nd minute. Four minutes later it was 2-0 as D'Ambrosio turned in Miranda's knockdown from another corner. Franco Brienza halved the deficit on the stroke of full time but the Nerazzurri held on to claim the three points.
