Inter Milan recovered from a shaky start to secure a 6-2 victory over Pisa at the San Siro, a result that puts Cristian Chivu’s side six points clear in the standings. on top of the table.
Despite controlling possession throughout the match, Inter fell behind after 11 minutes when Yann Sommer missed a pass from behind, allowing Stefano Moreo to fire a long-range shot into an unprotected net.
Pisa doubled its lead shortly after, when Moreo rose unmarked to finish off a corner, punishing an error in defensive organisation.
Inter’s response began from the penalty spot. Federico Dimarco’s shot caused a handball and Piotr Zielinski converted to reduce the deficit.
The hosts equalized shortly after when Lautaro Martínez headed in a Dimarco cross, before Francesco Pio Esposito completed the comeback on the stroke of half-time with another header, this time from a delivery from Alessandro Bastoni.
The second half followed a familiar pattern, with Inter camped in the Pisa half and creating chances at regular intervals.
However, it was not until the 82nd minute that the fourth goal arrived, when Dimarco volleyed home a Marcus Thuram cross.
Dimarco then set up Ange-Yoan Bonny, who finished well for the fifth, before Henrikh Mkhitaryan added the sixth in stoppage time.
