MILAN - Stevan Jovetic bagged a brace and Eder opened his Nerazzurri account as Inter came from behind to defeat Udinese 3-1 at the Meazza tonight.
Cyril Thereau shocked the Meazza when he fired the vistors into an early lead with a superbly taken volley in the 9th minute. Roberto Mancini's side then hauled themselves level through the Montenegrin striker following some fine work by Mauro Icardi as the first half ended 1-1.
Another close-range finish from Jovetic - this time with his chest from Jonathan Biabiany's cross - handed Inter the advantage on 76 minutes before Eder finished off a counter-attack moments before the final whistle to complete the scoring.
