Watch as Federico Dimarco threads his finish through the eye of a needle to give Inter the lead in the Scudetto showdown with Napoli.

See how the action unfolds on the Liveblog.

The Italy international broke the deadlock in the opening nine minutes at San Siro when he placed a precise snooker shot into the far bottom corner past Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.

It was former Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski who started the move by robbing Scott McTominay in midfield, then Lautaro Martinez found Marcus Thuram, who laid off a disguised pass for Dimarco.

This was his fourth goal of the season in Serie A and could yet prove a crucial one in the title race.
