Inter 2-2 Napoli – player ratings

Inter: Sommer 6; Bisseck 5, Akanji 5, Bastoni 5.5; Luis Henrique 5.5, Barella 6, Calhanoglu 6.5 (87′ Sucic N/A), Zielinski 6 (61′ Mkhitaryan 6.5), Dimarco 7 (88′ Carlos Augusto N/A); Thuram 6.5 (83′ Pio Esposito N/A), Lautaro Martinez 5 (87′ Bonny N/A). Coach: Chivu 5.5

Best Inter player: Dimarco 7 – The Italy international opened the account after less than ten minutes and helped the team defensively, but could have been more accurate with his passes (just 73% via Sofascore).

Lowest Inter rating: Lautaro Martinez 5 – The Argentine lost many duels and struggled against the Napoli defenders’ physicality. He had no big chances to score, but Bisseck and Akanji were equally disappointing as they were too soft inside the box.

Inter coach: Chivu 5.5 – At the end of the day, it’s a missed opportunity for Inter, who dominated possession, took the lead twice, but were still unable to win it. They remain the table leaders with a four-point lead over Napoli, but they could have killed off the season.

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic 6; Beukema 5 (78′ Lang 6.5), Rrahmani 5.5, Juan Jesus 6; Di Lorenzo 5, Lobotka 6, McTominay 8.5, Spinazzola 6; Politano 6.5 (93′ Mazzocchi N/A), Hojlund 7, Elmas 6.5. Coach: Conte 6.

Best Napoli player: McTominay 8.5 – How many McTominays did we see tonight? Three? Four? The Scotland star was literally everywhere. Proper box-to-box helping the team defensively and hurting up front with two vital goals. Beyond impressive.

Lowest Napoli rating: Di Lorenzo 5 – Napoli struggled so much down his flank. Di Lorenzo was often in the wrong position, and it’s no coincidence the Nerazzurri opened the account with Dimarco playing on the same flank. Lost possession 14 times. A bad night. Beukema didn’t impress either.

Napoli coach Conte 6 – One thing is certain, we’ll hear his name quite frequently these days. The Napoli boss was sent off in the second half after Inter were awarded a penalty kick and even screamed in the face of the fourth official before leaving the pitch. Other than that, Napoli played the game he wanted and showed the mental strength and resilience you expect from a Conte team. The title race is still open.
