Inter slowly took control of the game and only a fine  reaction save from Stefano Sorrentino prevented him from turning home Danilo  D'Ambrosio's left-wing cross.   Mauro Icardi and D'Ambrosio were involved as Inter broke the deadlock,  though, combining down the left to set up Perisic to lash Inter into a lead that  should have been doubled when Joao Mario shot wide from the Croatia  international's low delivery.   Excellent build-up between Perisic and Icardi ended with the latter thwarted  again by Sorrentino at the near post before a rare threatening Chievo attack saw  Handanovic brilliantly turn Pellissier's effort behind.   It was Perisic who appeared the most likely to add to Inter's tally in a game  that always looked in hand, but his inability to do so proved costly as Mariusz  Stepinski headed on for Pellissier to earn Chievo's fifth point of a miserable  season.</blockquote>
