Goals from Yann Bisseck<\/a> and Nicolo Barella<\/a> gave Inter Milan<\/a>\u00a0a 2-0 home win over Lecce<\/a> in Serie A<\/a> on Saturday as they restored their four-point lead at the top of the table.
Inter lead the standings on 44 points after 17 games, four points ahead of\u00a0Juventus<\/a>\u00a0who beat\u00a0Frosinone<\/a>\u00a02-1 on Saturday. Lecce remained 12th with 20 points.

Lecce looked like keeping Inter scoreless until the break but Yann Bisseck netted his first goal for the club in the 43rd minute when he headed home a free kick whipped in by Hakan Calhanoglu<\/a>.
The 23-year-old defender had earlier thumped a volley onto the crossbar from a corner.
Four minutes after the interval Lecce thought they had a penalty, but a VAR check overruled the referee’s decision for a handball offence.
After sustained pressure from Lecce in the second half, the home side finally found a second goal in the 78th minute when Barella combined with Marko Arnautovic<\/a> to settle the Inter nerves.
The pair played a one-two and Arnautovic produced a backheel to put the ball into the path of Barella all alone in front of the keeper and he calmly took a touch before slotting his effort past Wladimiro Falcone.
Lecce went down to 10 men in the 83rd minute when Lameck Banda<\/a> was shown a red card for dissent and Inter pushed on for more goals but were denied by a fantastic double-save by Falcone on Benjamin Pavard<\/a> and Kristjan Asllani<\/a> two minutes from time.
An injury to Inter’s leading scorer Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/a> gave Arnautovic his first Serie A<\/a> start of the season, and while his search for a first league goal with Inter continues, he redeemed some early misses with the assist for Barella.
Inter, knocked out of the Coppa Italia<\/a> on Wednesday by Bologna<\/a>, notched their fourth consecutive league win and Simone Inzaghi’s side are now unbeaten in 11 Serie A games. Lecce lost for the first time in six matches.<\/p>\n
