Attacking defence, top numbers and Sommer's record: the facts from Bologna vs. Inter

A narrow victory, hard-fought and fundamental. Inter beat Bologna 1-0 thanks to the goal from Bisseck and further extended their lead at the top of the table with 75 points. The game against the Felsinei offers various interesting statistics.

NERAZZURRI NUMBERS

An extraordinary and constant run. Simone Inzaghi's Inter have won their tenth consecutive game in Serie A: the third time in Nerazzurri history. So far, they have won 75 points, and only once before in Serie A history has a squad done better. Inter again, in 2006/07, when they had bagged 76 points.

Starting from last season, no side has won more games than Inter in the top 5 European leagues: 47, equal to Manchester City.

DEFENSIVE BAGSMEN

The three points came from movement in the defence, a cross from Bastoni and the perfect header from Yann Bisseck. With this goal, Inter has now picked up 5 goals headed in by defenders in Serie A 2023/24: more than any other side in the league. This goes to show once again how Simone Inzaghi's squad is characterised by the defenders in their offensive arsenal.

RECORD-BREAKING SOMMER

In the game at the Dall'Ara, the Nerazzurri went another 90 minutes without conceding a goal. Yann Sommer has equalled the record number of clean sheets for an Inter goalkeeper in a single Serie A season in the three points era: 17, same as Julio César in 2009/10 and Samir Handanovic in 2017/18 and 2018/19.

BASTONI ASSISTMAN

The goal that decided the game against the Bolognesi began with Alessandro Bastoni. The one last night saw him total 9 assists in the last four seasons as the Nerazzurri number 95.
