Sassuolo have a unique hold over Simone Inzaghi's side this season, as the only team to beat Inter in the league✤, having secured a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture in September.
The result was a big boost in Sassuolo's battle against relegation, as they sit second from bottom on 29 points, with ⛎only three points between them and Cagliari in 14th plac♈e.
Lauriente got the only goal of the match after 20 min🉐utes when Josh Doig managed to wrestle the ball back from Denzel Dumfries near the corner flag and p🐼ulled it back, with Sassuolo's matchwinner on hand to slot into the net from close range.
Data Debrief: Long time coming
This was the first time Inter have lost a league match against a team in the bottom two of the standings since way back in Novemb🔴er 2014. On that occasion, they went down 2-0 to Parma.
Lauriente, meanwhile, has scored four Serie A goals since🌳 the beginning of April, a joiဣnt-record in the period in the top-flight (level with Hakan Calhanoglu).
