FLORENCE, Italy, March 22 : Inter Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina on Sunday, as the hosts' Cher Ndour scored a second-half equaliser to cancel out Francesco Pio Esposito’s first-minute opener and dent the visitors' Serie A title charge.
Following AC Milan’s 3-2 victory over Torino on Saturday, the result in Florence trims Inter’s lead at the summit to six points, leaving the leaders on 69 with eight matches remaining and offering fresh hope to their city rivals.
Inter needed 39 seconds to make their intent clear, capitalising on a botched clearance that allowed Nicolo Barella to whip in a cross from the byline for Esposito to head home from close range.
Fiorentina’s second-half persistence finally told 13 minutes from time when Inter keeper Yann Sommer could only parry Albert Gudmundsson’s low drive into the path of an unmarked Ndour, who tapped home the equaliser.
