Inter Milan vs Parma Player Ratings – Inter hammer Parma as they maintain their unbeaten run

With the Serie A table being extremely close, every matchday in this league is important. Inter returned to action after their previous game vs Fiorentina was halted because of a health scare to Edouardo Bove. Inter are on a winless streak vs Parma at home in the league and there was no better chance to turn it into reality as they were playing against a leaky Parma defense, who haven’t kept a clean sheet in 7 matches.

Even though both teams got decent chances in the first half of the first half, Inter was dominant for the major part of it. They created a lot of chances but just didn’t take them properly. Then Inter increased the momentum and started to dominate and were rewarded with a goal when Dimarco played a one-tow pass with Mkhitaryan and fired a shot into the bottom corner just few minutes before the half-time break.

Inter continued their domination in the second half as they scored two more goals comfortably. While Parma pulled one back very late into the game, it was too late to mount a comeback. With this win, Inter move to the top of the table provided the other games fall in their favour.

Stefan de Vrij: 7/10 – Another solid performance, positioning himself really well to stop the opposition from troubling the defense.

Alessandro Bastoni: 8/10 – A classy centre-back performance, being strong defensively and contributing in attack too. He should have gotten an assist in this game too.

Federico Dimarco: 8.5/10 – He controlled the left flank really well, scored a brilliant goal to open the game.

Hakan Calhanoglu: 7.5/10 – He tried to curl one from very far out and achieved to trouble the keeper. Solid on the set-pieces too.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan: 9/10 – A sensational performance, controlling the tempo and contributing in two of the three goals. A rightful pick for the player of the match award.

Forwards:

Marcus Thuram: /10 – He linked up well with Lautaro, troubling the Parma defense and rightfully was rewarded with a goal.

Parma Player Ratings vs Inter Milan

Goalkeeper:

Zion Suzuki: 7/10 – Despite conceding three goals, he made some good saves which made the scoreline less embarassing.

Defenders:

Antoine Hainaut: 5/10 – He was lacking composure, conceding silly fouls in dangerous areas.

Enrico Prato: 5/10 – He struggled a lot to maintain with Inter’s intensity and his failure to keep up with them costed the team.

Botond Balogh: 4/10 – He was unable to make an impact since he was unfortunately subbed off early.

Emanuele Valeri: 5.5/10 – He worked hard defensively but could not make a major impact.

Midfielders:

Mandela Keita: 5/10 – He was lucky to not concede the penalty as it was just outside the Parma penalty area. His early booking made him passive in the remaining part of the match.

Simon Sohm: 6.5/10 – The lynchpin of the midfield, he was the one who was making everything happen.

Matteo Cancellieri: 6/10 – Despite coming close to scoring a goal, he could not do it, thereby failing to capitalise on the few chances Parma created.

Forwards:

Dennis Man: 7.5/10 – Relentless pressing caused problems to Inter’s defence. He was a big reason why Parma scored as he forced Darmian to concede an own goal.

Valentin Mihaila: 5/10 – He lacked the killer instinct in the final third, killing off attacks.

Ange-Yoan Bonny: 5/10 – He was anonymous throughout the game, failing to stand out in any aspect of the game.

Nahuel Estevez: 6/10
