Inter Milan 2-1 Sassuolo: Croatia Star “Sublime” As Italian Veteran Fails To Impress | OneFootball

Inter Milan newcomer Petar Sucic was impressive in last night’s 2-1 win over Sassuolo, but Francesco Acerbi struggled against Andrea Pinamonti.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 21-year-old was among the best on the pitch.

Furthermore, he continued to show his potential, claiming a pivotal assist to Federico Dimarco for the opening goal.

With Hakan Calhanoglu off his perch and Nicolo Barella still struggling, Sucic was Inter’s best midfielder last night.

However, Acerbi was not at his best.

After a scintillating performance against Ajax in the Champions League, the veteran looked erratic at San Siro.

Indeed, he lost track of Pinamonti twice, with the Sassuolo striker nearly leveling the score as a result.

Therefore, he failed to live up to the billing.

Luckily, Josep Martinez bailed him out, pulling off a stunning save to thwart the Italian’s towering header.
