Inter were the better team for the first 45 minutes but the game was at a goalless stalemate when the referee whistled for halftime.

The visitors continued the pressure in the first minutes of a second half that created opportunities for a Juventus counter-attack.

Kostic took advantage of a cleared Inter corner and raced into the box, where Adrien Rabiot guided the assist elegantly into the lower right corner in the 52nd minute.

Juventus could have doubled the lead after 63 minutes but Danilo’s goal from a setpiece was revoked after a VAR decision due to a handball.

Kostic then fed an unmarked Nicolo Fagioli on the other side of the box six minutes before fulltime for the second goal.

Juventus are fifth on 25 points, level with Roma in sixth and 10 behind leaders Napoli.

Inter are seventh on 24 points.
