First half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez ensured that Juventus and Inter\u2019s top of the table clash finished 1-1 on Sunday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vlahovic had given\u00a0Juve\u00a0a crucial lead before Lautaro bagged an equaliser just five minutes later to keep Inter top of the\u00a0Serie A\u00a0table after gameweek 13.<\/p>\n

The result means that Inter remain two points clear of Juve at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

\n

How the game unfolded<\/h3>\n

Juventus started the game extremely brightly, pressing forward with real intent in search of the opening goal; and they almost got it in the 15th minute when Federico Chiesa found himself in acres of space with the ball at his feet just inside the penalty area. After controlling, the Italian forward was, however, unable to find the top left corner of the net with his subsequent effort on goal \u2013 curling just over the bar.<\/p>\n

In the 26th minute, the home side deservedly took the lead thanks to some wonderful combination play from Chiesa and strike partner Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian brilliantly found Chiesa with a pass around the corner before then racing into the box to latch on to a subsequent pull back cross and coolly slot the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.<\/p>\n

That lead didn\u2019t last for too long however, as Inter hit back with a wonderful team goal just five minutes later. A sweeping move from I Nerazzurri down the right flank culminated in Marcus Thuram drilling the ball into the path of Lautaro Martinez at the near post. As expected, Serie A\u2019s top goalscorer made no mistake with his finish, brilliantly drilling into the far bottom corner to level the scores.<\/p>\n

At start of the second half, Juventus noticeably dropped deep into their own defensive third and allowed Inter to dominate possession.<\/p>\n

Juve\u2019s tactical tweak ensured that the second half proved to be a rather dull watch and, although Inter retained the ball well, they were rarely able to trouble the deep defensive line of the home side.<\/p>\n
