Inter Hit Two Late Goals to Beat Fiorentina 4-3
MILAN (Reuters) - Inter Milan fought back with two goals in the last five minutes as they began their Serie A campaign with a 4-3 win over Fiorentina.
Runners-up last season and seen as the main challengers to the dominance of Juventus this term, Inter suffered one of their familiar slumps as they fell 3-2 behind to a Fiorentina side inspired by 37-year-old Franck Ribery.
But an 87th minute equalizer from Romelu Lukaku followed by Danilo D’Ambrosio’s header two minutes later gave them the points - and possibly spared them one of coach Antonio Conte’s infamous dressing-downs after the game.
Inter could not have made a worse start as they gifted Fiorentina the lead in the third minute with a goal worthy of a playground kickabout.
