Injury time goal gives leaders Inter Milan win as Verona misses late penalty

By Can Erozden

Inter Milan extended their lead in the Italian Serie A to five points after a dramatic 2-1 win Saturday against Hellas Verona.

Inter's Argentine star Lautaro Martinez scored the opener in the first half at Inter Milan’s home ground, Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

Thomas Henry leveled the match in the 74th minute.

But Inter substitute Davide Frattesi scored a dramatic winner in the 93rd minute after a rebound in the six-yard box. It was the winning goal for Inter because Henry missed a penalty shot.

Verona's Darko Lazovic was sent off near the end of the match.

Inter boosted their points to 48 in 19 matches, increasing their lead against their nearest opponents, Juventus, at the top of the league table to five points.

Hellas Verona are in the relegation zone with 14 points.
