Inter Secures Place in the Top Four with Victory over Atalanta

Inter Milan scored two goals in the first four minutes but held off a resurgence from Atalanta to win 3-2 and secure their place in the top four of the Italian Serie A on Saturday. Coach Simone Inzaghi's team is in second place with 69 points, eight points ahead of fifth-placed Atalanta with one round remaining. Inter started the match perfectly, as Romelu Lukaku put them ahead after just 39 seconds, and two minutes later, Nicolo Barella added a second goal. Mario Pasalic reduced the deficit for Atalanta in the 36th minute. Lautaro Martinez restored Inter's two-goal lead with 13 minutes left, but Atalanta added a second goal in stoppage time, which was not enough to deny the hosts the victory.
