Romelu Lukaku's return to "Giuseppe Meac" sent Inter fans into hysterics and whistles for the entire 90 minutes, but the Belgian was not a threat, just a shadow of the great player and goalscorer.
"The Nerazzurri" celebrated in the derby (1:0), and the man of the decision is the player who succeeded Lukaku in the club and who would not have come if the experienced striker had not been "made" by his former club - Markus Tiram, who scored once again this season or directly influenced the result with an assist.
The home team dominated, especially in the first half, in which Hakan Calhanoglu, who hit the crossbar, Tiram and Dimarko, had chances, and the "wolf" was without a shot on goal and with only a few actions in the rival's half.
The Romans had the only chance in the middle of the second half when Jan Zomer stopped Brian Cristante's header...
It seemed later that Roma repelled Inter's attacks, but in the 81st minute, the defense of Jose Mourinho's team broke (he was not leading the team due to being sent off in the duel with Monza) and the match was decided.
Kristjan Aslani then sent a long ball to Dimarko, who assisted on the ground and found Tiram, who made no mistake for the fourth goal in the championship.
After 1:0, it was clear that Roma had no way to get back into the game, so they had to come to terms with their fourth defeat and the end of a series of three triumphs.
Thus, Inter returned to first place, they have 25 points out of a possible 30 - two more than Juventus, four more than Milan, who are visiting Napoli tonight in the derby of the 10th round.
