Seria A: Champions Inter Suffer Loss To Sassuolo

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Newly-crowned champions Inter Milan suffered their second defeat in Serie A this season, as a first-half goal by Armand Lauriente gave relegation-threatened Sassuolo a crucial 1-0 victory at home on Saturday.

Sassuolo have a unique hold over Simone Inzaghi's side this season as the only team to beat Inter in the league, securing a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture in September.

The result was a big boost in Sassuolo's relegation battle as they sit second from bottom on 29 points, with only three points between them and Cagliari in 14th place.
