Higuain Scores Late Winner As Juventus Beat Inter

By Daily Sports on October 7, 2019

Gonzalo Higuain scored the winner as Juventus inflicted a first Serie A defeat of the season on Inter Milan with a 2-1 victory which sent the defending champions top on Sunday.

Substitute Higuain slotted home on 80 minutes after fellow Argentine Paulo Dybala had opened the scoring in the fourth minute at the San Siro.

Another Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez pulled Inter Milan level from the spot on 18 minutes, but coach Antonio Conte lost in his first meeting against his former club since leaving Juve to take over the Italy national team in 2014.

Juventus moved one point ahead of Inter after seven games as they target a ninth consecutive title.

“We played a great game against the most solid team in the league, who had won six out of six,” said Higuain.

“We played with a lot of character and determination. And now we’re first.

“This is a great start to the season, but it’s still early and we want to fight on all fronts.”

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri started with Dybala and Federico Bernardeschi up front alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Higuain – who also scored in Juventus’ 3-0 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen during the week – began on the bench. (SuperSport)
