Inter Milan closed the gap on Napoli to one point by beating Torino on Sunday, while the Serie A leaders were held at home by Genoa.
Inter’s game in Turin had to be halted because of a medical emergency early in the first half and was then further delayed by a thunderstorm.
Inter took the lead in spectacular style with Nicola Zalewski’s superb 25-yard strike. But a sudden downpour led to puddles appearing on the pitch and left the ball unable to bounce on the surface. The half-time interval was extended to 30 minutes in an effort to let the water drain off the pitch.
Following an inspection by referee Federico La Penna, the game was able to resume and in the 49th minute, with the rain still coming down, Inter were awarded a penalty after Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic fouled Mehdi Taremi.
Kristjan Asllani converted from the spot to double the visitors’ lead and seal the victory. As the heavy rain began to ease, Inter pushed forward with greater intensity and only a series of sharp saves from Milinkovic-Savic prevented them from adding a third. Adam Masina found the net for Torino with a spectacular overhead kick deep into time added on, but the goal was ruled out after he was adjudged to have muscled Asllani out of the way to make room for the effort.
