Inter defeated Como 2-0 at the Giuseppe Meazza in a Serie A matchday 11 fixture, settling the game inside the opening half-hour with two strikes separated by seven minutes.
The first goal arrived in the 12th minute after Jed Spence delivered a low cross from the right and Francesco Pio Esposito beat the Como defender to convert, putting the hosts ahead 1-0.
Seven minutes later Piotr Zieliński swung a cross in from the right, Massimo Perone failed to clear and Marcus Thuram turned the chance into a goal to double Inter's lead.
Second half chances but no reply
Inter continued to press after the break. Federico Dimarco came close on a couple of occasions, and in the 56th minute Thuram squandered a big opportunity, shooting just inches wide of the far post.
Como responded in the 62nd minute when Nico Paz sent in a dangerous cross that Alex Vailhe could only divert; Jose Martinez then produced a decisive save to keep the visiting side from reducing the deficit. Paz later rattled the crossbar in the 83rd minute, but Inter held on.
The victory moved Inter to 28 points from 11 matches, leaving them third in Serie A — one point behind leaders Lazio and one ahead of second-placed Roma. Como remained fifth with 23 points, one adrift of Milan.
