Edin Džeko hit the post late on after combining with Lukaku.

That was Inter's 11th win in its past 12 matches and lifted it to second in Serie A, ahead of Lazio's match at Empoli later.

The result also ended Torino's hopes of qualifying for the Europa Conference League, if Juventus is banned from European competition by UEFA, as it left it behind Fiorentina.

Inter faces Manchester City in the Champions League final in Istanbul next Saturday. City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final earlier Saturday to leave it on course for the treble after also winning the English Premier League.

Inter is also on course for a trio of trophies — albeit not quite in the realm of City’s treble bid. Simone Inzaghi's side has won the Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup this season.
