Calhanoglu and Martinez fire Inter Milan past Atalanta
Lautaro Martinez scored the winning goal as Serie A leaders Inter Milan edged Atalanta 2-1 away in a rain-lashed slog in Bergamo on Saturday.
Inter are now five points clear of Juventus and six ahead of Milan after showing relentless spirit despite the conditions playing havoc with the run of the ball.
The away side suffered an early blow when French central defender Benjamin Pavard limped off in the first half.
Hakan Calhanoglu lifted their spirits with a confidently converted spot-kick on 40 minutes sending Inter into a welcome half-time break from the rain.
The fiesty Martinez ripped a curling shot round two defenders and into the top corner with an impressive effort on 57 minutes.
Inter lost 'keeper Andre Onana to Manchester United in the close season but replaced him with Swiss stopper Yann Sommer, who produced an assured performance with his saves, calls and mobility.
Former West Ham player Gianluca Scammaca was fortunate to see his pullback goal stand after a foul in the build-up, but at 2-1 it was game on again until Rafaele Toloi was given a straight red card late on.
After a tricky test, Inter can look forward to Wednesday's Champions League game at Salzburg, where a victory would send them through to the last 16.
