Inter won 4-0, yet Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Cragno was Man of the Match, because the Nerazzurri had a record 15 shots on target.
It could’ve been a massacre at San Siro for the Sardinians this evening, without counting the goals scored by Lautaro Martinez, Alexis Sanchez and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Yet the Man of the Match was Cagliari goalkeeper Cragno, who faced a siege between the sticks.
Serie A | Inter 4-0 Cagliari: Nerazzurri new leaders in style
Opta calculated that Inter had 15 shots on target, a new record in Serie A since they started gathering this data in 2004-05.
There were 24 attempts overall, they also rattled the frame of the goal when Cragno was beaten, and of course scored four times.
Cragno also consolidated his status as a spot-kick specialist, saving six penalties since 2017-18 in Serie A, more than any other goalkeeper during that period.
However, this was Cragno’s first penalty save in the top flight since August 2020, which was also at San Siro, but on that occasion against Milan.
