There will be three added minutes at the end of this match.
After a foul from Bastoni on Berenguer, a free-kick is swung into the hosts’ box from a dangerous area down the right flank by Millico. The set-piece ricochets into Nkoulou, who sees his flicked effort deflect behind for a corner off Candreva. The resulting set-piece comes to nothing.
88'
The game has begun to get a little scrappy now as we enter the final few minutes. Skriniar impedes Belotti and the visitors are awarded a free-kick in their own half.
86'
C. Biraghi gets yellow.
As Torino looked to clear their lines following that earlier Inter attack, Biraghi cynically brought down Singo and picks up a yellow card. He can have absolutely no complaints with that decision.

With only six minutes of normal time left to play, Eriksen enters the fray while Martinez, the scorer of the third goal, heads for the bench.

62'
A. Sánchez gets yellow.
Sanchez is the latest player to pick up a yellow card after sliding in and cynically catching Izzo deep in Torino’s half.
61'
L. Martínez has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by A. Sánchez.
Assist Alexis Alejandro Sánchez Sánchez
GOAL! Inter extend their lead! Izzo cheaply loses the ball to Sanchez down the left-hand side of the field before the Chilean slides a forward pass to Martinez. After taking a touch, the striker unleashes a fierce effort from the edge of the box which deflects off Bremer, loops over Sirigu and lands in the back of the net. 3-1.
60'
M. Brozović gets yellow.
Brozovic goes in rather late on Verdi after trying to chase his first touch and picks up a yellow card.
59'

53'
D’Ambrosio clips Aina and the referee is quick to award the away side a free-kick.
51'
D. Godín has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by A. Sánchez.
Much like Martinez in Inter’s equalising goal, Sanchez’s composure and understanding of his side’s positioning is pivotal to this goal. The weight of pass from Young to the Chilean was inch perfect and it allowed the attacker to put it on a plate for Godin. A very well-worked goal.
WHAT A TURNAROUND! The hosts take the lead! Sanchez works a short corner to Young on the edge of the box, who sends a wonderful lofted throughball beyond the Torino defence. Sanchez reacts to latch onto the pass before nodding it across goal for Godin, who steered it past Sirigu from a few yards out. 2-1.
49'
L. De Silvestri gets yellow.
De Silvestri goes in late on Young and picks up a yellow card. He can have no complaints about that decision.

GOAL! Inter are level! D’Ambrosio picks the ball up in a deep area and swings a hopeful cross into the box. Martinez tracks it to the back post before turning it back into the centre of the box, where Young arrives to volley past Sirigu from close range. 1-1.
While the finish from Young is impressive, Martinez deserves immense credit for creating the opportunity. The Argentine showed great awareness to pick out his teammate, who applied the finish.
47'
The hosts have started the second half well as Martinez slides a pass over to the right for D’Ambrosio. The wing-back swings the ball into the box, although Nkoulou is once again well placed to head the ball to safety.
46'
We are back underway! Massa, the referee, blows his whistle and Inter get the second half kicked off.

Hello and welcome to live match coverage of the Serie A fixture between Inter and Torino at San Siro.
The home side come into this game looking for an improvement on their last result having drawn 2-2 with Hellas Verona. Moreno Longo’s team, meanwhile, will be full of confidence following their 3-1 victory over Brescia in their previous match in Serie A.
INTER (3-4-1-2): Samir Handanovic; Diego Godin, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Danilo D'Ambrosio, Roberto Gagliardini, Marcelo Brozovic, Ashley Young; Borja Valero; Alexis Sanchez, Lautaro Martinez.
INTER SUBS: Daniele Padelli, Tommaso Berni, Andrea Ranocchia, Milan Skriniar, Lorenzo Pirola, Kwadwo Asamoah, Cristiano Biraghi, Lucien Agoume, Antonio Candreva, Cristian Eriksen, Sebastiano Esposito.
TORINO SUBS: Antonio Rosati, Samir Ujkani, Lyanco, Koffi Djidji, Emin Ghazoini, Wilfried Stephane Singo, Michel Ndary Adopo, Jean Greco, Sasa Lukic, Alex Berenguer, Simone Edera, Vincenzo Millico.
In their last six games, Conte’s side have won just three matches. Moreover, the Nerazzurri have failed to win either of their last two fixtures, conceding four goals in that time. Because of that, the hosts currently sit fourth in Serie A, but could leapfrog third-placed Atalanta with a win today. Torino, on the other hand, moved five points clear of the relegation zone following their 3-1 victory over Brescia last time out and now sit 16th. However, the visitors will have to end a run of six consecutive away defeats if they are to avoid defeat at San Siro.
The teams are out, and kick-off will soon be upon us here at San Siro.
TORINO (3-5-2): Salvatore Sirigu; Armando Izzo, Nicolas Nkoulou, Bremer; Lorenzo De Silvestri, Soualiho Meite, Tomas Rincon, Cristian Ansaldi, Ola Aina; Simone Verdi, Andrea Belotti.
Conte will be frustrated at the interval and will be hoping for much more from his side in the second half. Although the hosts have enjoyed the bulk of the play thus far, they have yet to really test Sirigu. Martinez has looked the most likely to make something happen, and he will be key if Inter are to turn things around after the restart. Longo, on the other hand, will be delighted with his team. Torino have looked dangerous on the break while remaining solid at the back, restricting the Nerazzurri to shots from distance.
Inter will be seeking to secure back-to-back wins when they travel to SPAL in their next match. Torino, on the other hand, host Genoa as they look to bounce back.
That brings an end to our coverage of the Serie A clash between Inter and Torino at San Siro. Thank you very much for joining us. Goodbye!
