Inter Milan extended their lead atop Serie A to three points with a 2-0 win at third-placed title rivals Atalanta thanks to goals from Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez on Sunday in a hard-fought clash that saw both sides finish with 10 men.

Inter Milan moved three points clear at the top of Serie A after beating third-placed Atalanta. Napoli, who sit second, were held to a goalless draw by Venezia earlier in the day and Inter seized the opportunity to open up daylight in the race for the title.

Atalanta were once defeated by Inter, failing to grab a positive result that could have swung the title race on Sunday. It’s the final direct confrontation between the three contenders. Plus, La Dea has a tougher schedule compared to the Nerazzurri and Napoli.
