Keeping Hold of Icardi Is Crucial to Inter's Hopes of Progress

Mauro Icardi's late finish in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Roma gave Inter Milan their first home win in Serie A since they defeated Palermo at the San Siro on 8 February.

There was a euphoric air as the Argentinian rushed to greet the celebrating hordes having driven his low, hard strike beyond Morgan De Sanctis. It's not a surprise given the mediocrity that Inter's fans have come to expect of late.

Roma are hardly in inspiring form themselves at this stage of the season, but as far as the Nerazurri are concerned, a win is a win.
