Serie A 2020-21 football betting: Inter Milan beat the defending champions Juventus 2-0
After a 2-0 defeat at Inter Milan on Sunday, Juventus's nine-year stranglehold on the Serie A
title was at risk of unravelling.
For former Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal, Nicolo Barella scored one goal and set up another as Inter climbed level on points with city rival AC Milan atop the table.
Juventus, which has won the Italian league every season since 2011-12, has been left behind in fifth position and seven points behind the champions. If Milan wins at Cagliari on Monday, the deficit could hit 10 points.
The veteran Conte took home the bragging rights in the first match between Inter coach Antonio Conte and Juventus partner Andrea Pirlo, who played for Conte at Juventus and is coaching at some level for the first time this season.
Juventus had produced few opportunities and never really tried to get back into the competition.
Inter took charge early on when Vidal leapt over Danilo to head in a cross from Barella.
Having returned to Serie A at the start of this season, Vidal's first goal in the Italian league was his last score for Juventus in 2015.
In Juventus' defence, Inter's second revealed problems, as Barella ran on a long way through Alessandro Bastoni's ball and sprinted past Gianluca Frabotta and Giorgio Chiellini to finish a counterattack.
Shortly before the Nerazzurri won their last Serie A win, the last time Inter beat Juve without conceding was in April 2010.

Key Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt, just like Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro, missed the match with the coronavirus.
As it faces Napoli in the Italian Super Cup on Wednesday, Juventus does not have much time to regather itself.
