Matteo Darmian the hero as Inter Milan beat Cagiliari to go 11 points clear at the top of Serie A table

Antonio Conte and Inter Milan players celebrating Serie A win

Matteo Darmian was the hero as Inter Milan beat Cagliari 1-0 to open a 11 points gap at the top of Serie A.

The former Manchester United defender tapped in Achraf Hakimi's cross with 14 minutes left to give Inter an 11th consecutive win.

Inter struggled to break down the resilient Cagilari defence as Stefan de Vrij saw his headed effort hit the bar after 68 minutes.

Antonio Conte's side now need just 16 points from eight games to win their first Serie A title since 2009-10.

Inter Milan missed a lot of chances in the match as their in-form striker Romelu Lukaku struggled to find the back of the net.

But Parma loanee Darmian scored to leave struggling Cagliari five points from safety in 18th.

Second-placed AC Milan won at Parma 3-1 on Saturday.

It is only a matter of time before Antonio Conte's men are declared champions.
