End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
There it is.
Looking like true champions Inter wing ugly.
One shot on target, one goal. That's why they have seven wins in a row. That's why they're top of the table.
90+4'
Pasalic is penalised as Atalanta's move breaks down.
Time running out...
90+1'
FOUR MINUTES STOPPAGE TIME
90'
One minute of normal time left.
Atalanta with the ball and throwing men forward. They have a corner...
Swings in...
Toloi is there! But his effort flashes wide.
88'
Double change for Inter as Darmian and D'Ambrosio come on for Hakimi and Perisic.
Defend, defend, defend.
86'
CHANCE!
Pasalic is straight in the mix with an effort from six yards but he somehow sends it wide!
83'
Alright that was actually the penultimate throw of the ice because Djimsiti is off for palomino now.
They get five subs in Italy...
82'
Maehle pulling all the strings now as he dinks a lovely ball into the box but once again the hosts clear their lines.
You shall not pass!
Freuler is off for Pasalic as Gasperini throws the dice one final time.
80'
Ten minutes for Atalanta to find an equaliser.
They're knocking on the door...
78'
Atalanta pressing now and have edged in front with 51 per cent possession.
De Vrij does so well to intercept a Maehle pass with Muriel lurking for Atalanta.
Inter make a double change with Sanchez and Gagliardini on for Martinez and Brozovic respectively.
74'
Miranchuk is on for Pessina as Atalanta go in search of an equaliser...
15 minutes to go...
73'
That's Zapata's last chance of the match as he is replaced by Muriel.
Atalanta are making things happen now though as Djimsiti leaps highest for the header from a free-kick but his effort is well wide.
69'
Zapata tries to make things happen but Inter bodies shut him down. Atalanta just look a little stunned by that Skriniar goal which is still Inter's only effort on target in the match.
CHANCE!
Zapata gets a second look as he collects a pin-point pass inside the box but his effort is sliced inches wide of the post!!
So close.
64'
It's Inter's match to lose now and you have to say that look good money for it.
Just so solid at the back and whenever Atalanta have seen a gap they have to deal with Handanovic.
They'll have to attack now which will suit Inter on the counter.
60'
Atalanta need to keep calm and carry on the way they were playing...
That won't help though...Romero picks up a booking for a clear foul on Eriksen.

In among all that, Eriksen also came on for Vidal.
Now Inter have the momentum and Lukaku is through on goal! But Sportiello smothers the striker and now it's Eriksen with the corner.
But Atalanta clear their lines. Breathe!
Do we have a game on our hands now?
54'
GOAL! INTER 1 ATALANTA 0 (Skriniar)
Inter have the lead against the run of play and it's no surprise really that a defender has the opener the way this game has gone.
Skriniar looks every bit a striker with this effort though, sending a low driven effort past Sportiello.

54'
Bastoni's turn to give away a free-kick as Atalanta maintain pressure.
Moments later, Romero slides into Vidal as the two sides trade fouls.
Conte, however, has behaved himself on the sidelines since that first-half booking.
49'
Maehle's cross is easily claimed by Handanovic in the as Atalanta go on the half's first offensive.
They're showing a little more spark than their hosts who are just going through the motions in a bit in this one. So far, they're doing just about enough to not fall behind.
Atalanta with the change as Malinovsky makes way for Ilicic!
