Inter edge past Cagliari

Inter Milan closed the gap on Serie A leaders AC Milan to two points this evening – but needed a large slice of luck to overcome Cagliari 1-0 at the San Siro.

An own goal from Michele Canini in the seventh minute – deflecting Houssine Kharja’s shot into his own net under pressure from Andrea Ranocchia – was enough to earn the Nerazzurri all three points, but they struggled against a motivated Cagliari side.
