Eight minutes later the visitors got on the score sheet when Mauro Icardi converted a penalty kick, but Antonio Di Natale brought the sides level at 1-1 just two minutes later.

The hosts went down to nine players in the 59th minute when Emmanuel Agyemang- Badu was shown a straight red card and Inter found the winning tally in the 66th minute through former Arsenal man Lukas Podolski.
