Torino 1-2 Inter Milan: Antonio Conte's side make it ten league games unbeaten with narrow win and extend Serie A lead to nine points over intra-city rivals AC Milan
- Torino defender Lyanco hit the post with the only real chance of the first half
- Romelu Lukaku gave the visitors the lead before Antonio Sanabria's equaliser
- Lukaku's strike partner Lautaro Martinez scored a dramatic late winner for Inter
- The result means Inter have a healthy nine-point lead over Stefani Pioli's side
Lautaro Martinez scored a superb late winner to stretch Inter Milan's Serie A winning run to eight games and send his side nine points clear on top with a 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday.
Torino defender Lyanco hit the post with an extremely presentable free header from a free-kick in what proved the only real chance of the first half.
Romelu Lukaku fired Inter in front from the penalty spot after 62 minutes after a clumsy challenge on Lautaro Martinez by defender Armando Izzo.

Antonio Sanabria bundled home the equaliser from a corner which caused havoc - only the third time Inter have conceded in their last 10 league games - with the goal given following a VAR check with Inter protesting vehemently.
Lyanco should have scored in the first half, Izzo gave away a needless penalty for the opener and finally Torino's third defender Bremer switched off at the death.
Argentine Martinez headed substitute Alexis Sanchez' cross home brilliantly with five minutes left to give Antonio Conte's side what could prove a crucial win in the Serie A title race.

Inter moved up to 65 points after their 12th straight game unbeaten, nine points clear although second-placed AC Milan can close the gap back to six points if they beat Napoli on Sunday.
Struggling Torino remain in 18th place with 20 points, two adrift of Cagliari above them but with a game in hand over the Sardinian side.
Antonio Conte will consider his side to be in pole position for the title, with only one match remaining this season against a side currently in the top four.

That is against third-placed Juventus on the penultimate day of the season on May 16, although Andrea Pirlo's outfit are unlikely to seriously challenge given they will still be seven points behind Inter even if they win both their games in hand.
Stefano Pioli's AC Milan, on the other hand, face a tricky run-in with games against Juventus and Champions League contenders Atalanta in the final four matchdays of the campaign.
Up next, Inter host Sassuolo on Saturday while AC Milan host Napoli on Sunday, Manchester United in the Europa League last 16 second leg on Thursday before travelling to mid-table Fiorentina the following Sunday.
