Serie A player ratings: Inter 1-0 Venezia – Goalkeepers take spotlight, decisive Lautaro | OneFootball

Inter took a vital three points against Venezia in a match that saw both teams have plenty of chances, with the Nerazzurri struggling to capitalise on their dominance. Here are the player ratings.

Sommer 7 – He pulled off some vital saves in a match that he was supposed to watch from the bench. Old but gold.

Pavard 6 – He was probably the most reliable of a shaky defensive trio, despite lacking quality when building up.

De Vrij 5.5 – The captain of a ship that risked sinking on several occasions in the first half.

Bastoni 5.5 – While his qualities are not in doubt, he looked insecure at times against a lively Venezia attack (70′ Bisseck 6)

Dumfries 6.5 – A real nightmare for Haps, his physicality proved an important factor for Inter.

Barella 5.5 – He was surprisingly imprecise and lacked both calmness and composure, paving the way for Venezia’ repeated breaks. (70′ Calhanoglu 6.5)

Zielinski 6 – (84′ Frattesi n/a) A valuable addition in terms of quality, but his defensive contribution is far from matching Calhanoglu’s. To be used in that role only when desperately needed.

Mkhitaryan 5.5 – Ironically, he only scored when Dimarco set him up from an offside position. His mistakes could have proved costly to his side.

Dimarco 7 – A simply divine left foot that can create dangers out of nowhere even when he’s not on his best night (76′ Darmian 6)

Thuram 5 – While he had his fair share of bad luck, he jeopardised a series of promising attacks for his sides by making the wrong decision every time.

Lautaro Martinez 6.5 – Rarely seen, he did enough to earn Inter three massive points. Decisive striker (70′ Taremi 6).

Inzaghi 6.5 – For better or for worse, this Inter side seem capable of everything. From moments of spectacular and offensive play to unacceptable defensive distractions – he’s probably aware they are required to strike a balance in the long term if they want to be consistent enough to compete for titles.
