The Nerazzurri were coming off a spectacular week, going 12 points clear at the top of the Serie A table, then fighting back from 2-0 down to beat Como 3-2, setting up a Coppa Italia Final against Lazio on May 13. Luis Henrique joined Lautaro Martinez on the treatment table, while Alessandro Bastoni, Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries were rested. Toro were unbeaten in three, but while Tino Anjorin and Zakaria Aboukhlal were ruled out, Duvan Zapata and Ardian Ismajli were back in action.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
The Curva Maratona was left empty, as Torino ultras were on strike and marched towards the stadium, but stayed outside, in protest at the club and President Urbano Cairo.
Manuel Akanji nodded wide of the back post after a short corner, while Saul Coco ballooned over from the edge of the box following a Carlos Augusto error playing out from the back.
Marcus Thuram opened the scoring with a header at the far stick from close range, but it was thanks to a record 17th assist of the Serie A season from Federico Dimarco, even if Opta record only 16 due to a deflection. The Italian floated one of his trademark crosses from the left, beating the tally of 16 assists achieved by Papu Gomez for Atalanta in 2019-20.
Piotr Zielinski volleyed just wide from the edge of the area after an Inter corner, but they had a huge double chance at the dawn of the second half.
First Alberto Paleari made a big save on Dimarco at the near post, then a desperate Enzo Ebosse sliding tackle prevented Matteo Darmian turning the rebound into an empty net from seven yards.
Ismajli got in the way of the Thuram counter-attack, but Inter scored on the resulting corner with a Yann Bisseck header off the inside of the far post. The assist was yet again from Dimarco, ensuring Opta and the Lega Serie A can all agree he is now the outright record-holder.
Ismajli needed another desperate tackle to stop Francesco Pio Esposito clear on goal from a central pass, but Torino did get one back in real style.
Giovanni Simeone ran onto the through ball, provided a back-heel flick for Emirhan Ilkhan, then ran onto the return pass and dinked a delightful finish over the on-rushing Yann Sommer.
It was nearly 2-2 moments later, Simeone at full stretch flicking the Luca Marianucci cross just wide from six yards when getting in front of Bisseck.
Torino were suddenly fired up and Alieu Njie’s strike forced a very tough save out of Sommer at the back post, but before that, Duvan Zapata’s header hit Carlos Augusto’s hand from point-blank range. It was considered to be worthy of a penalty following the VAR review, so Nikola Vlasic converted into the top corner.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had the ball in the net for Inter, but only after combining with the clearly offside Thuram. It remained wide open to the end with both sides going for victory, Zielinski drilling just wide, then Denzel Dumfries making a decisive interception to stop the Duvan Zapata tap-in.
The gap at the top is reduced to 10 points, but with only four games left to play.
