STADIO GIUSEPPE MEAZZA (Milan) – Although Edin Dzeko will take most of the credit in Inter‘s 2-1 victory over Venezia, his late winner was only possible because of Nicolò Barella, who found the equaliser during a first half which saw the hosts struggle to find spaces through the visitors’ solid defence.

Other than that, the midfielder’s relentless work was key in helping the Nerazzurri win back possession and pile constant pressure on the Lagunari’s backline throughout the second half.
