Tensions reached boiling point in the San Siro as Inter’s goal scorer Lautaro Martinez was sent off in injury time for arguing with the referee. Antonio Conte’s second-placed Inter are now three points adrift of leaders Juventus, who travel to 13th-placed Napoli later on Sunday. A win would see Simone Inzaghi’s Lazio join Inter in the standings, with a game in hand to be played in February against Hellas Verona. Inter have taken 11 points from the last seven games, not enough to keep pace with eight-time reigning champions Juventus. Cagliari, in the sixth, occupies the final Europa League berth, despite taking just three points from their last seven games.
