Mihaila races upfield and takes a slightly premature shot from the edge of the box, with Inglese perhaps in a better position. Inter manage to block.
73'

71'
Hernani has scored a goal for Parma! Assist by G. Pezzella.
GOAL! PARMA 1-2 INTER! Parma are back in this! It's a thumping finish from Hernani who was all alone at the far post as Pezzella looped the ball up. Handanovic couldn't get down quickly enough.
It didn't look like Pezzella would be able to create much there but he did a great job of finding Hernani. Are Parma set to force yet another 2-2 draw?

GOAL! PARMA 0-2 INTER! Sanchez grabs his second goal of the game, again assisted by Lukaku. Parma commit men upfield and get caught out on the counter-attack as Lukaku waits for the Chilean to arrive to his left. Sanchez rolls the ball first-time into the bottom right corner.
Lukaku really has been impressive. He hasn't got on the scoresheet himself yet but he's been at the heart of everything good Inter have done.

45'

Man knocks the ball wide right to Hernani who flings it into Inter's box. Kurtic keeps it in play on the opposite side and Hakimi gets in the way of the Slovenian's cross.
26'
Man's heavily involved for Parma in this opening half hour. The Romanian beats Eriksen near the touchline but has his run blocked by Bastoni. It'll be a Parma free-kick.
24'
Man drops deep to control the ball for Parma. Karamoh has plenty of time to find the right cross from the left but it's blocked. However, Brozovic quickly gives the ball away and Gagliolo gets to try again from the byline. This time Handanovic claims it.
22'
Inter's corner comes to nothing as two Parma players go down in their own penalty area.

Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this Serie A match between Parma and Inter at Stadio Ennio Tardini, Parma.
Relegation battlers Parma have shown signs of life of late, gaining two consecutive 2-2 draws in Serie A. However, Roberto D'Aversa's men really need to start picking up wins if they're to drag themselves out of trouble. Parma have picked up just eight points at home so far this season. The last time they collected fewer at this stage of a campaign was in 2014/15 when they were eventually relegated. No pressure then.
Inter, meanwhile, have taken control of the Serie A title race, winning their last five games on the bounce and keeping clean sheets in their last three on the road. A win here would send Antonio Conte's men six points clear at the top of the table. The Nerazzuri currently have 56 points after 24 games. The only three times Inter have previously done that, in 2006-09, they ended up being champions.
PARMA (4-3-1-2): Luigi Sepe; Mattia Bani, Jordan Osorio, Lautaro Valenti, Riccardo Gagliolo; Hernani, Gaston Brugman, Jasmin Kurtic; Juraj Kucka (c); Yann Karamoh, Dennis Man.
SUBS: Bruno Alves, Alberto Grassi, Simon Sohm, Maxime Busi, Roberto Inglese, Simone Colombi, Simone Iacoponi, Valentin Mihaila, Juan Brunetta, Wylan Cyprien, Giuseppe Pezzella, Graziano Pelle.
SUBS: Matteo Darmian, Aleksandar Kolarov, Andrea Ranocchia, Roberto Gagliardini, Arturo Vidal, Lautaro Martinez, Ionut Radu, Ashley Young, Stefano Sensi, Matias Vecino, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Andrea Pinamonti.
INTER (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic (c); Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Achraf Hakimi, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Christian Eriksen, Ivan Perisic; Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku.
The two sides are out on the pitch here in Parma. Parma are in their black and white home kit. Inter are in their famous blue and black colours too.
Inter cement their position as the team to beat then, having extended their current winning run to six games. If Conte's men can carry on like this, a first league win in 11 seasons is surely in their grasp. That's all for now. Goobye!
