Inter confidently beat Fiorentina 3–0 without Mkhitaryan

Inter Milan claimed a convincing 3–0 victory over Fiorentina in Matchday 9 of Serie A.

Due to an injury sustained in the previous round against Napoli, Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed the match — the 36-year-old Armenian midfielder is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. His place in the starting lineup was taken by Petar Sucic, who repaid the coach’s trust with a brilliant debut goal for Inter. Hakan Çalhanoğlu also found the net twice, completing a brace.

After 9 rounds, Inter sit 3rd in the Serie A table with 18 points — the same as Milan. Napoli and Roma lead the standings with 21 points each.
