Inter Milan defender Walter Samuel grabbed the winner against Sassuolo yesterday.

It marked Inter's first Serie A win for 2014.

The 1-0 win that lifted Inter into fifth place was certainly hard-earned at San Siro, with new signing Hernanes and Diego Milito thwarted on numerous occasions by a much-improved Sassuolo backline.

Indeed, the 19th-placed Neroverde conceded six fewer goals than when the sides met in September.
