Adam Masina was also shown a straight red in stoppages for a terrible tackle on Inter debutant Lisandro Lopez.
MILAN (AP) — Two months is a long time in football and Inter Milan know that more than most after having experienced one of its worst slumps in recent history.
Inter crushed Chievo Verona 5-0 on Dec. 3 to move to the top of the table and, at that stage, there was optimism in the Nerazzurri camp under new coach Luciano Spalletti.
However, Inter hasn't won in the league since then, drawing five matches and losing the other two to slide to fourth, 13 points behind leader Napoli.
Inter Milan's crisis deepened as it was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Lazio on Saturday to leave it without a win in four league matches.

Roma is two points further back after a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo, while Lazio remained fifth.
The two capital sides have played a match less than the top three.

Inter Milan survived its toughest test yet as it drew at Juventus 0-0 to stay unbeaten and on top of Serie A on Saturday.
Inter barely sighted the goal, and Samir Handanovic was certainly the busier of the two goalkeepers in the Derby d'Italia.
Wojciech Szczesny stepped in for the injured Gianluigi Buffon but he was mainly a spectator between the posts for Juventus.
"Having taken away a point without conceding a goal is good," Inter coach Luciano Spalletti said.
VERONA, Italy (AP) — Inter Milan overcame relegation-threatened Hellas Verona by a hard-fought 2-1 on Monday that extended its unbeaten start to Serie A.

New Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti had a fruitful return to the Italian capital on Saturday, as his Nerazzurri side came from behind to win at Roma 3-1 in Serie A.

Vecino plays in central midfield and is known for his attacking style.
