Inter Milan’s 3-0 win over Sampdoria isn’t enough for them to retain the Scudetto after Milan’s 3-0 win over Sassuolo.
After a quiet first half for Inzaghi’s men, they quickly came out of the blocks in the second half.
Perisic chipped the opening goal over Audero just four minutes after the break.
Correa got two goals in two minutes to take the game out of sight, including a beautiful individual goal that started in his half.
Starting lineup:
INTER XI (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ivan Perisic; Joaquin Correa, Lautaro Martinez.
SAMPDORIA XI (4-1-4-1): Emil Audero; Bartosz Bereszynski, Alex Ferrari, Maya Yoshida, Tommaso Augello; Antonio Candreva, Morten Thorsby, Ronaldo Vieira, Tomas Rincon, Abdelhamid Sabiri; Francesco Caputo.
Goals:
PERISIC SCORES! Perisic starts the move by dispossessing Candreva and sets Inter on the counter. Barella carries it into the box before unselfishly picking out the Croatian to his left. He lifts a lovely shot over Yoshida and Audero to pick out the far bottom corner. 1-0 Inter!
CORREA SCORES! And it’s a lovely goal by Inter! Calhanoglu plays a one-two with Perisic to get to the edge of the box before he lays it off to Correa. The perfectly-weighted pass allows him to hit the shot the first time, and he curls it out of Audero’s reach and into the far side of the net. 2-0 Inter!
CORREA SCORES AGAIN! And just like that, it’s 3-0! Correa makes the run from deep in his half into Sampdoria’s box before trying to take it around Yoshida but spins into Ferrari. He nudges the defender out of his way before hitting his shot on the half-turn. Audero doesn’t see it coming, and he slots it across the goal.
So, what’s next?
Inter finished with 84 points, just two points behind rivals Milan. Sampdoria’s league status had already been confirmed before this match, as they end the season in 15th with 36 points.
