CAGLIARI V INTER MILAN LIVE: LAUTARO MARTINEZ AND DENZEL DUMFRIES KEEP INTER UNBEATEN IN SERIE A

It wasn't the most exciting game in Serie A history, but there was more than a little to buoy the spirits of Inter fans.

Simone Inzaghi's team looked comfortable in defence, midfield and attack and the game was pretty much over after half an hour. Lots of food for though for Claudio Ranieri though.

Thanks for joining us!

It didn't turn into the rout that Inter threatened after the opening half-hour, but the visitors looking comfortable all match as they continue to click in this new Serie A season.

Luvumbo has been the one bright spark for Cagliari he's at it again, tragially unsupported. We're into five minutes of injury time here.

He has to bury that. The cross cannons off an Inter leg to Azzi four yards out from the back post, but he can't put any power into his shot and produces a great save at full stretch.

Arnautovic had his first involvement, switching play out to Cuadrado who cut it back to Calhanoglu but his shot just snuck onto the post.

Ranieri's last roll of the dice

And that's Mkhitaryan's last action of the game.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has again struggled to get into the game and he's gone down here. A yellow card's been brandished around but it's not quite clear whom to after a scuffle broke out over the Armenian's prone body.

Arnautovic lit up the end of the game against Monza, can he do the same here?

Back to those subs in a moment but Luvumbo was dancing through the Inter box there and rode the challenge of Matteo Darmian before going down under pressure from Juan Cuadrado.

The home fans are up in arms but it's no penalty, play on.

There's three changes from Inzaghi across the midfield.

The hosts built patiently there before Sulemana could take it down in the box and shape to shoot. Unfortunately De Vrij got across in time to block it and Inzaghi's lining up three changes to breath life back into the game.

Cagliari lost the ball there and Barella attempted to put Martinez through, Obert coming across to clear at the last moment. Nandez has just been pinged by the referee again, he could find himself carded before long.

It's all too easy for Inter at the moment. The home fans are trying to inject some passion into the game but their side can't get hold of the ball, before Nicolo Barella buys a foul from Nandez.

Jankto's been anonymous tonight.

Thuram's energy has been impressive all evening and he again sets Dumfries free down the right flank, this time the Dutchman can't trouble the home goal.

Claudio Ranieri's preparing to make another substitution and the game needs it, Inter are controlling the ball well here and Cagliari are sorely lacking an end product when they do break forwards.
