Inter Milan scored twice inside the opening four minutes but had to fight to beat Atalanta 3-2 at home on Saturday, which guaranteed them a top four finish in Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi's side are second in the standings with 69 points, eight ahead of Atalanta, who occupy fifth place with only one game remaining for both. Lazio, in third place, are one point behind Inter before their match against Cremonese on Sunday."I am very happy, I congratulated the team because this evening was probably the most important of the last 18 in 47 days," he told Sky Sport Italia.Inter made an explosive start, with Romelu Lukaku scoring after just 39 seconds.
Inter could even have had a third before the ten-minute mark, but Hakan Calhanoglu's effort was disallowed due to an offside. Mario Pasalic injected life into the game when he reduced the score after 36 minutes, capitalising on a failed clearance and firing in. Atalanta pulled one back a minute into stoppage time as Luis Muriel's free-kick struck the wall, with the follow-up shot ricocheting off the crossbar and then rebounding in off Onana.
