Report – Inter Milan Beat Fiorentina In Serie A Match Marred By Woeful Referee Calls
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, La Penna's decisions overshadowed Inter's dominant 2-1 win.
Though the scoreline was tight, Simone Inzaghi must be pleased with his side's performance last night.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri had Raffaele Palladino's charges on the ropes all night but often lacked the final touch.
For context, Inter attempted 22 shots to Fiorentina's seven, generating an impressive 2.17 xG.
However, La Penna's calls left Inzaghi with a bittersweet taste.
For starters, La Penna gave Inter a corner that led to the opening goal, though the ball was already out of play.
Then, he made another dubious call after VAR summoned him to double-check the incident inside Inter's box.
Indeed, he penalized Matteo Darmian's handball, though it was a 50/50 decision.
Despite La Penna's blunders, Inter returned to the win column in phenomenal fashion.
Marko Arnautovic sealed the deal early in the second half with his first Serie A goal this season.
As a result, Inter ended Gameweek 24 only a point adrift of pacesetters Napoli.

Report – Inter Milan Have Rejected Two Offers For Germany Defender This Summer: Want €40M
Serie A giants Inter Milan have reportedly turned down two offers for sought-after defender Yann Bisseck this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri have slapped a €40 million price tag on the German star. Despite putting the 24-year-old up for sale, the San Siro club will not let him leave unless they receive a satisfying bid. However, time has become a factor, especially after Liverpool intensified their pursuit of Giovanni Leoni. Inter Milan Turn Down Two Offers for Yann Bisseck MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Yann Aurel Bisseck of FC Internazionale celebrates after his team's victory in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Barcelona at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 06, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Inter have already missed out on the signing of Koni De Winter, who is on the verge of joining AC Milan. Therefore, they must turn to Leoni, who commands a significant price tag. Yet, the Nerazzurri cannot pursue the 18-year-old unless they sell Yann Bisseck to the highest bidder. Bisseck has drawn plenty of enquiries from the Premier League. Indeed, Crystal Palace have lodged two formal offers to sign the former Aarhus center-back but to no avail. Inter deemed their €35 million proposal insufficient and continue to insist on their valuation.

However, the Serbian can't put a very tough period behind him, and the crowd doesn't forgive him. Dusan, targeted by the Bianconeri fans because of a massive salary that makes his transfer impossible and blocks Juve's transfer market, shoots way over the bar and the crowd doesn't forgive: the rain of boos is inevitable. 👋 A goal that feels like goodbye However, the 2000-born striker didn't lack character, and in the 33rd minute he finally scored the goal that silenced the boos.

'It's clearly a huge loss'
The sale of Torbjorn Heggem is clearly a huge loss to the heart of West Bromwich Albion's defence, however, it is the best example yet of the recruitment model that has been implemented under the club's owners, Bilkul, and led by their sporting director Andrew Nestor. Outside of the club, practically nothing was known about the Norwegian defender when he arrived from Swedish top-flight side IF Brommapojkarna in July 2024. Heggem cost under £600k and, fast forward 13 months, he is a Norway international and is going to be playing in Serie A after sealing a move which is worth in the region of £10m. He was deservedly crowned the Baggies' player of the season after featuring in all but one of their Championship games in the 2024-25 campaign, and provided further proof of his credentials with a solid performance for his national team in a 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Italy during the summer - which may have alerted Bologna to his talents, although it is likely he was on their radar already. Read more of Steve Hermon's analysis on Heggem's departure here.
