MILAN: Inter Milan’s Alexis Sanchez and Hakan Calhanoglu were both on target as the Italian side beat Austrian champions Salzburg 2-1 in Champions League Group D on Tuesday to go top of the standings.
Inter broke the deadlock against the run of play in the 19th minute when Sanchez collected a pass inside the box and sent it inside the far post.
Salzburg midfielder Oscar Gloukh levelled for the visitors just before the hour mark but Calhanoglu restored the lead for Inter seven minutes later, slotting home from the penalty spot.
Inter are on seven points from three games. Salzburg sit third with three points, one behind second-placed Real Sociedad who play away at bottom side Benfica later on Tuesday.
