Verona 1 Inter 2: Perisic stunner keeps pressure on Napoli

Borja Valero's first goal for Inter and an Ivan Perisic blockbuster helped Luciano Spalletti's side overcome a dogged Verona on Monday.

Ivan Perisic's brilliant strike ensured Inter survived a second-half scare to remain unbeaten in Serie A with a 2-1 win at Verona which keeps the pressure on leaders Napoli.

Borja Valero and Perisic scored either side of Verona substitute Giampaolo Pazzini's penalty as the visitors moved back to within two points of top spot.

With Napoli, champions Juventus and Lazio all recording weekend victories, the pressure was on Inter to maintain their eye-catching start to the campaign.
