Ayew turns the heat up on Ranieri as Marseille down Inter

Andre Ayew scored with the last touch of Marseille’s Champions League clash to inflict a fourth straight defeat on Inter Milan and pile the pressure on coach Claudio Ranieri.

Inter were improved from the side that went down 3-0 to Bologna on Friday for their third straight home defeat, but still looked sluggish at times and there were clear signs of anxiety as their woeful run continues.

Ayew headed in from a corner he had won in the third minute of injury time to make it six defeats out of seven for the Italian giants. Although a 1-0 scoreline by no means eliminates Inter as they head back to the San Siro for the second leg, Ranieri must wait to see if his paymasters allow him to stay in charge for that match.
