Inter's late win over Fiorentina changed the shape of the title race, but the verified standings still show Lazio first and Inter second. The source report says Inter beat Fiorentina 2-1 and that the gap at the top is now down to a shared-looking contest between the two clubs, while Fiorentina remain on 4 points and in the relegation zone.
The standings after the late winner
The table still has Lazio on 22 points from 8 matches and Inter on 19 from 7, so the win narrowed the race rather than flipping it. That said, Inter's recent league run is hard to ignore, with four wins and a draw in their last five Serie A games, plus a Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the same spell.
Fiorentina's position is the other side of the story. Eighteenth on 4 points from 7 matches, they are far from the group chasing the summit and that 2-1 defeat leaves them looking more like a side fighting to climb away from danger than one involved in the top end of the table.
Fiorentina's gap and Inter's momentum
Inter have scored 21 goals in 7 Serie A matches and conceded only 9, which is the kind of start that keeps them in every conversation at the top. Lazio's case is built on something different, with only 5 goals conceded in 8 matches, and that defensive base is why they are still holding on to first place.
The immediate takeaway is simple enough: Inter's victory put pressure on Lazio without dislodging them. The top of Serie A is compressed, Fiorentina are still buried near the bottom, and the standings will keep that tension in place until the next round of matches.
