San Siro served up an eight-goal thriller on Monday night as Inter Milan edged out Udinese 5-3 in a Serie A clash that never let the crowd settle. The home side led twice in the opening half only for Udinese to claw level both times, leaving things delicately poised at 2-2 by the break. Inter looked the sharper of the two early doors, but Udinese's willingness to push men forward kept causing problems in behind. The second half belonged to the hosts. Inter found another gear after the restart, adding three without reply to pull clear and finally put the game to bed. For Udinese there will be disappointment at how the contest slipped away given how well they matched Inter for long periods, but three goals away from home still shows real attacking intent. Inter, meanwhile, take the sort of confidence-boosting win that can shape a season — three points, and a statement that they can win ugly as well as pretty.
