21:52 FT: Inter 4-0 Salernitana

21:51 Inter 4-0 Salernitana: Marko Arnautovic!

That one counts! Dumfries tried to roll across from the right, interception only deflected it, but Arnautovic was still able to steer it home.

21:49 Ref takes pity

Referee decides not to bother with any stoppages, something that both teams will be quite happy about.

21:46 Pavard acrobatic

Pavard with an acrobatic overhead kick that is off target, plus Klaassen was offside.

21:43 Salernitana changes

Simy and Kastanos on, Tchaouna and Zanoli off.

21:41 Buchanan goes down

Promising debut, Buchanan takes his man on and almost gets through, goes down in the box, but the referee waves play on. No foul from Sambia.

21:39 Arnautovic goal disallowed

That was tighter than it looked initially, but still very much offside on a ball over the top.

21:37 Inter change

Tajon Buchanan gets his Inter debut, replacing Bastoni.

21:34 Sanchez effort

Alexis Sanchez free kick is over the bar.

21:31 Yellow card

Tchaouna booked for a late tackle on Asllani.

21:27 Inter change

Asllani replaces Calhanoglu

21:25 Salernitana change

Legowski and Weissman on, Coulibaly and Dia off

21:23 Save on De Vrij!

Calhanoglu corner finds De Vrij, glancing header from six yards fingertipped over the bar by Ochoa!

21:20 Inter changes

Like clockwork at the 60th minute. Thuram, Lautaro Martinez and Mkhitaryan off, Alexis Sanchez, Arnautovic and Klaassen on.

21:20 Pavard over

Series of Inter corners, Pavard eventually nods over.

21:18 Candreva wide

That might count as Salernitana’s first attempt. Nowhere near the target, but still. The free kick was touched on for Candreva to drill very, very wide.

21:15 Salernitana counter

Salernitana attempt a counter-attack, intercepted by Calhanoglu running back.

21:12 Save on Calhanoglu!

Carlos Augusto cross cleared to the edge of the area, absolute rocket of a Calhanoglu volley and it basically hits Ochoa to be deflected wide! Not sure he knew too much about it.

21:08 Barella off target

Barella balloons high and wide into the stands.

21:06 2nd half kicks off: Inter 3-0 Salernitana

No changes. Bet on Inter doing 5 subs all at the 60th minute…

20:57 Salernitana 0

In that half, Salernitana had 0 shots on target, 0 shots at all, 0 corners and 0 cards. Basically, they weren’t there.

20:49 Dumfries goal

20:48 Half-Time: Inter 3-0 Salernitana

Talk about one-way traffic. Thuram, Lautaro Martinez and Dumfries goals, plus they hit the woodwork twice.

20:47 Inter stats

Inter have over 77 per cent possession. It feels like more.

20:41 Inter 3-0 Salernitana: Denzel Dumfries!

Barella down the left, his pull-back hits Pasalidis and the ricochet causes Ochoa to fumble, allowing Dumfries to tap in the rebound from close range!

20:40 Just saying

There are now 50 points separating these teams in the Serie A table. And you can see every one of them being fully deserved. It’s not a match, it’s a training session.

20:39 Thuram chance

Bastoni ball whips across the face of goal and Thuram sliding in just fails to connect from six yards!

20:37 Lautaro records

20:33 Dumfries at the back post

Mkhitaryan floats a ball to the far post, but Dumfries can’t reach it.

20:31 It remains all Inter

Ochoa could’ve just left the over-long Pavard pass, but instead gave away a corner, from which little happened.

20:28 Mkhi volleys wide

Another long Inter throw-in flicked on, Mkhitaryan volley goes wide.

20:28 Thuram goal

20:25 Salernitana change

Boateng limps off, Maggiore comes on

20:24 Boateng needs treatment

Boateng had been in doubt for this match and he has gone down needing treatment here.

20:24 Thuram stat

20:20 Inter 2-0 Salernitana: Lautaro Martinez!

Long Carlos Augusto throw-in, Lautaro Martinez gathers, cuts inside Boateng on the edge of the area and curls into the far bottom corner!

20:18 Inter 1-0 Salernitana: Marcus Thuram!

Carlos Augusto breaks away and resists a challenge down the left, pulls it back and Thuram is ready to side-foot into the net with the inside of the right boot from seven yards!

20:16 Oh Lautaro!

Is it going to be one of those nights? Dumfries down the right, lays it off on a silver platter for Lautaro Martinez, who completely scuffs the shot undisturbed from 12 yards. Mkhitaryan then blasts well over.

20:14 Inter fans making a point

They were banned from holding up flags, so the Curva Nord are all waving their phone lights in the crowd. It’s rather pretty, like being at a rock gig.

20:12 That double chance

20:11 Ochoa save

On the corner, De Vrij header, Thuram at full stretch to redirect, Ochoa palms it away.

20:11 Inter chance

Barella whips in a cross from the right, just beyond Lautaro and Pasalidis gets there before Thuram. Corner.

20:07 Barella hits the crossbar!

That was NOT offside! Bastoni ball over the top for Barella, Pellegrino got it all wrong, Ochoa fingertips the scorcher onto the bar!

20:05 All Inter

Thuram penalty appeals, but he ran into Boateng. Then cross for Lautaro, acrobatic Boateng clearance for a corner.

20:04 Ochoa and then the woodwork!

Incredible double chance on the corner! Bastoni header palmed away by Ochoa, then Thuram thumps the upright from point-blank range!

20:03 First Inter corner

Dumfries pulls back from the by-line, Boateng block for the corner. Both teams wearing their away kits. For reasons.

20:03 First question answered

Yes, Salernitana have moved to a three-man defence.

Ball out of play

19:50 Torino goal disallowed

Okereke has it in the back of the net after Linetty battles to rob Touba at the by-line, but the flag is up, claiming the ball has gone out of play. It’s not terribly clear.

Into 4 minutes of stoppages

19:47 Torino changes

Gineitis and Okereke on, Ilic and Duvan Zapata off.

19:44 Save on Gallo

Curler from the Lecce full-back from distance, VMS has to really fly to pluck that out of the top corner.

Glancing header on a corner, Falcone couldn’t get to that one!

19:20 Lecce push

19:17 Ramadani strike

Powerful from distance, but the Lecce midfielder’s effort is straight at Milinkovic-Savic.

19:12 Toro chance

Corner flicked on, just beyond Masina at the back post.

19:11 Inter arrive

19:08 Torino 1-0 Lecce: Raoul Bellanova!

Toro counter, ref lets play continue after a Blin foul in midfield and it was the right decision, because Bellanova took a touch on the edge of the box before drilling a daisy-cutter of an angled drive into the far bottom corner with his right boot!

19:06 Lecce threaten

Almqvist shot charged down inside the penalty area.

19:04 2nd half kicks off: Torino 0-0 Lecce

No changes.

19:01 Watch the Inter-Salernitana warm-ups

You can watch the Inter vs. Salernitana warm-ups on the Lega Serie A YouTube Channel.

19:00 No Inzaghi family reunion

This was meant to be a meeting of the brothers, but Pippo Inzaghi was sacked by Salernitana this week and Fabio Liverani brought in as their third coach of the season.

It is still a reunion of sorts, as Liverani was teammates with Simone Inzaghi at Lazio.

18:48 Half-Time: Torino 0-0 Lecce

Best chance for the visitors with a Masina goal-line clearance on Piccoli.

18:45 Vlasic wide

Torino free kick comes to little, but then Vlasic pounces on a poor clearance, drills from the edge of the area, deflected just wide.

18:41 Zapata header

Cross from the left, Duvan Zapata diving header hits Baschirotto on the chest and goes out for a corner.

18:40 Inter team bus arrives

18:31 Torino fight back

Ilic flashes a great ball across the face of goal from the left, nobody is there for the tap-in!

18:25 Lecce again

They are dangerous from set plays, Gendrey on the end of a corner, but didn’t get enough power to the header.

18:22 Gendrey overhits the cross

Piccoli in a good position again, but the Gendrey cross is too long.

18:15 Cleared off the line!

Oh! VMS fumbles a corner horribly, Piccoli manages to acrobatically flick it from a tricky angle and Masina clears off the line! Almost a goal for Lecce!

18:14 Tonight

18:14 Torino corner

Bellanova gets his head to it, but turns wide.

18:11 Lecce win their first corner of the game

Lecce btw are still without an away win this season. And it’s no wonder with short corner routines like that…

17:28 Duvan Zapata

Duvan Zapata scored a hat-trick against Lecce for Atalanta in 2020, meaning he has four goals against them in five games.

The Granata are eager to get on track after back-to-back stalemates, but Adrien Tameze is suspended with Alessandro Buongiorno, Ricardo Rodriguez and Perr Schuurs injured, so into an emergency situation in defence.
