ROME — Lautaro Martinez scored late and Inter Milan beat Genoa 1-0 to take the provisional lead in Serie A. Lautaro met a corner with a header that deflected off a defender's chest before going in to break a deadlock at the San Siro. Inter moved one point ahead of Antonio Conte's Napoli which can reclaim the lead with a win at Como on Sunday. AC Milan dropped further into crisis with an error-strewn 2-1 loss at Torino four days after getting eliminated from the Champions League. Parma coach Cristian Chivu had a successful debut with a 2-0 win over regional rival Bologna. Lazio was held to a 0-0 draw at Venezia.
