Inter 2-1 Sampdoria: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Nainggolan Seals Victory for Nerazzurri

Inter put aside the off-field controversy surrounding Mauro Icardi to defeat Sampdoria 2-1 on Sunday evening.

The early action was relentless, but it took until midway through the second-half for the teams to get on the scoresheet. Danilo D'Ambrosio opened the scoring for Inter after 70 minutes, but the lead lasted just moments before Manolo Gabbiadini cropped up in the box to find an equalising goal, silencing the rapturous home crowd.

Incredibly, Inter were able to regain their lead soon after. Sampdoria failed to clear a corner and Radja Nainggolan was on hand to fire home a strike from outside of the 18-yard box.
