Inter Milan winless run extended to four games across competitions as it was held to a 1-1 draw at Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday.

Inter spent the closing stages on the back foot as Atalanta, smarting from a 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool in the Champions League, pressed for a late winner.

Atalanta stayed fifth in Serie A with 13 points, one place and one point above Inter.

Antonio Conte's Inter, runner-up in Serie A last season, had a chance to go 2-0 ahead but Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Sportiello made a double save to deny Arturo Vidal and Nicolo Barella.

“We had the opportunity to finish off the game today but we are missing the killer instinct that allows us to bring home the victory,” said Conte.

“In the last year, Inter have become a team to be feared again,” he added. “But we need to be better at adapting to what happens during the game and this is something the players have to do because the coach is not on the pitch.”
