54 POINTS AND THE BEST ATTACK

Thanks to their victory over Raffaele Palladino's men, Inter, with 54 points to their name, have moved to within one point of league leaders Napoli. Simone Inzaghi's side continue to have the best attack in the league with 58 goals in 24 matches. One stat highlights how much of a threat Inter pose in the air: the Nerazzurri have scored ten headed goals this campaign, a tally only bettered by Atalanta (eleven).

ARNA ON TARGET

He rose highest to make it 2-1 with his head. Marko Arnautovic left his mark in the match against the Tuscan side by scoring the decisive goal. The Austrian striker has directly contributed to two goals - a goal and an assist - in his last two Serie A appearances at San Siro.

CARLOS' CONTRIBUTION

He hit the post with a first-time left-footed effort in the 21st minute, and then he provided the assist for the winning goal with his right foot. Carlos Augusto once again displayed his ability to adapt and tactical intelligence as he set up Arnautovic for Inter's second.

In his 17 appearances this Serie A campaign, the Brazilian wing-back has matched the number of goal contributions he racked up in 37 league fixtures last season: three (two goals and an assist).

MILESTONES FOR CALHANOGLU AND BASTONI

The match against Fiorentina marked important milestones for Hakan Çalhanoglu and Alessandro Bastoni. Indeed, the Nerazzurri No.20 made his 250th Serie A appearance, while Bastoni played his 200th game in the Italian top flight.
