Inter Milan missed an opportunity to lead Serie A after a 3-0 defeat by Fiorentina in a rescheduled match. Moise Kean scored twice for Fiorentina, who took the lead with Luca Ranieri's goal in the 59th minute. The game, initially halted on December 1 due to Edoardo Bove's collapse from cardiac arrest, resumed on Thursday from the 17th minute with a Fiorentina throw-in.

Kean extended Fiorentina's lead nine minutes after Ranieri's opener by heading Dodo's cross past Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Despite Inter's hopes of surpassing Napoli on goal difference with a win, they struggled to mount any significant comeback. Kean sealed the victory in the 89th minute, capitalising on Federico Dimarco's poor back pass to score into an empty net.

With this result, Inter remains three points behind Napoli, having played the same number of matches. Meanwhile, Fiorentina climbed to fourth place with 42 points, overtaking Lazio based on goal difference. This defeat marked Inter's heaviest league loss since May 2019 when they were beaten 4-1 by Napoli.

The match was crucial for Inter as it presented a chance to gain momentum in the title race. However, their inability to respond effectively led to their most significant league defeat in nearly six years. As the season progresses, both teams will aim to solidify their positions and challenge for top honours in Serie A.
