Inter Milan, with Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer, had to settle for a 4-4 draw at home to third-placed Juventus in the Serie A top-of-the-table clash despite leading 4-2.

After the hosts fell 2-1 behind in the 27th minute through Timothy Weah, Henrich Mchitarjan (35), Piotr Zielinski (37) with his second penalty goal after 1-0 (15) and Denzel Dumfries (53) put Milan back on the winning track. However, Juventus struck back thanks to two goals from 19-year-old Turk Kenan Yildiz.

Last season, Inter conceded just 22 goals in 38 games in the championship; now, after nine games, they have already conceded 13, underlining the fact that defensive stability has been somewhat lost, much to Sommer's chagrin. Inter, who won 1-0 at Young Boys in the Champions League last Wednesday, are now four points behind leaders Napoli.
