Inter were good value for their point after initially being battered from pillar to post, but have left the door open for AC Milan, who are two points behind Inter in third, to take the summit with a win over Sampdoria in Sunday’s early match.
Inter have a game in hand on both their local rivals and Napoli but Saturday’s exciting match showed why Italy’s three-way title race could go down to the wire.
