INCHES AWAY! Eder arrives half a second too late as he just fails to get on the end of Karamoh's cross! Surely Inter's unbeaten record is coming to an end today now.
90' +1
Such a waste of a set-piece for Inter as Candreva tries to tee up Icardi with a free-kick from the left side of the penalty area, but Behrami reads it the whole way and intercepts. Pressure stays on, but Udinese finally have some respite as D'Ambrosio heads over from a cross.
90'
The VAR stoppage that led to Udinese's second goal was a lengthy one, and because of it we will see five minutes added on at the end of this match.
88'
E. Hallfreðsson enters the game and replaces R. De Paul.
A final change here for Udinese, one they are in no rush to make, as experienced midfielder Emil Hallfredsson replaces De Paul.
86'
What is it about Udinese and the month of December? They went unbeaten in the month last year, winning three and drawing one. Coincidentally, that was also their last three-match winning run in Serie A, something they can match with victory today at San Siro.
84'
Udinese in complete control here. De Paul is pulling the strings for them in possession, with Barak and Jankto anchoring things in midfield. Inter's best have gone missing in this second half, and they're running dangerously out of time as they try to salvage something from this match.
82'
Still probably a good 12-15 minutes for Inter to try an turn this around, including stoppage-time, but they have the look of a defeated team. Their body language is very negative, and they're not showing much urgency, either, as Udinese are doing well to win the ball back with consistency.
80'
STAT: Eder has scored eight goals in his 11 Serie A appearances against Udinese (his favourite opponent in the Italian top-flight), including his only brace for Inter, in the last meeting between these two sides at San Siro.
78'
S. Perica enters the game and replaces K. Lasagna.
Éder enters the game and replaces M. Vecino.
A change up top for Udinese, as Stipe Perica comes on to replace Lasagna with their second change of the match.
Inter's final change sees Eder replace Vecino.
Minute
Description
77'
A. Barák has scored a goal for Udinese! Assist by J. Jankto.
INTER POISED FOR THEIR FIRST DEFEAT OF THE CAMPAIGN! Superb counter-attacking play from Udinese as Barak meets Jankto's cross to tuck in a composed finish at the near post! Deafening silence around San Siro now...
Jankto picked out that delivery brilliantly, as he provides the assist.
76'
Inter's unbeaten record on the season is under threat here. They have 15 minutes, and no doubt a wealth of stoppage-time, to salvage it. Tensions rising at San Siro now - Inter need all hands on deck.
74'
V. Behrami enters the game and replaces S. Fofana.
S. Widmer gets yellow.
Valon Behrami is brought on as Udinese make their first change, looking to the experience of the Swiss international to help them see this through. He replaces Fofana.
Widmer is beaten and trips up Karamoh, which will see him into the book. The yellows starting to pile up for Udinese.
73'
M. Vecino gets yellow.
Vecino arrives late with a challenge on De Paul as he's issued a yellow card, which will see him suspended for the next match.
72'
CLOSE AGAIN! Vecino rises to meet a cross, but his header deflects behind for a corner! The ensuing delivery comes for Gagliardini, but he too is thwarted, this time by an excellent stop from Bizzarri at his near post!
71'
Inter awarded a free-kick in a glorious position, 25 yards from goal, in position for a shot to be had. Perisic touches it into the path of Candreva, but his effort crashes straight into the wall. That's a wasted opportunity.
69'
Y. Karamoh enters the game and replaces D. Santon.
A second Inter change brings with it a change in tactics, as Santon is replaced by Yann Karamoh, as the hosts switch to three at the back.
68'
OFF THE BAR! Skriniar meets the resulting corner at the far post, but his header crashes off the frame of the goal and stays out! They're knocking on the door, but they need an equaliser fast if they are to claim all three points today.
67'
Icardi is sprung into space in the area via the left channel, but he opts to try and pull it back, which results in a corner. He really needs to be having a go from there, even if it was on his weaker foot.
66'
S. Fofana gets yellow.
Fofana becomes the third Udinese player booked in the match.
65'
STAT: The last time Inter were unbeaten in their opening 16 league fixtures was in the 2007/08 season, and they won the Serie A title at the end of that campaign.
63'
Napoli and Juventus will be licking their chops, as Inter have it all to do again here. Anything but three points for the hosts today would open the door for a new leader at the close of play in matchweek 17. It's gut-check time for Inter.
61'
Penalty goal scored by R. De Paul for Udinese!
UDINESE BACK IN FRONT! A confident penalty from De Paul, sending Handanovic the wrong way as he powers a strike right down the middle. Udinese lead again at San Siro!
60'
PENALTY TO UDINESE! Following a lengthy review, the ball was determined to have stayed in play, and now the visitors will have a glorious chance to restore their lead and back the leaders up against the wall here!
58'
The referee still watching the replays here, in what is proving a lengthy delay. It was a clear handball, that's not the question. What they have to determine is if the ball crossed the line before being played into the penalty area.
56'
Udinese think they have a penalty, but that doesn't appear to be the case! Santon blocks Widmer's cross with his hand, quite clearly, but the ball was judged to have just gone out of play before the cross was played in! The referee will consult with VAR here to see if he made the correct decision.
54'
R. Gagliardini enters the game and replaces M. Brozović.
Inter win a corner, but before it's taken they make their first change, with Roberto Gagliardini replacing Brozovic.
Udinese's zonal marking is taken advantage of again by Inter from a corner, but Icardi lifts his free-header over the bar! You would really expect him to do better there.
52'
Substitutes starting to warm up here for Inter. They have not led yet today, but have always looked in control. It's only seemed like a matter of time, but that sentiment has faded early in the second half as they're looking vulnerable for the first time today.
50'
Udinese have started this second half encouragingly, really taking the game to Inter. It's something they failed to do in the entirety of the opening 45 minutes, but Massimo Oddo's half-time talk seems to have sparked his side.
48'
Lasagna the centre of attention again here, this time for an injury, however, as him and Miranda clash heads near the halfway line. Luckily neither player appear too troubled by the incident, and play is able to restart soon after.
46'
Inter get the second half underway. No changes at the break.
OVER THE BAR! Just 30 seconds into the second half, Udinese nearly restore their lead as Lasagna produces a delicious first touch to get beyond Skriniar and through on goal, but his effort from point-blank range is turned over the bar brilliantly by Handanovic!
45'
HALF-TIME: INTER 1-1 UDINESE.
This time Bizzarri is tested, and the keeper is up to the task as he sees aside a powerful effort from Candreva from 25 yards, following a nice lay-off from Icardi.
44'
Miranda is left virtually unmarked from the ensuing set-piece, but he mistimes his jump and flashes his header wide! He really should be at least testing Bizzarri from there.
43'
B. Nuytinck gets yellow.
Nuytinck becomes the second Udinese player booked in this first half, this for a lazy tug of Vecino's shirt to prevent him from breaking away.
41'
BEATEN AWAY! Bizzarri needed to be alert, and was, as he drops quickly to parry Perisic's venomous effort from a tight angle, on the end of a swift break from the hosts. Back the other way come Udinese, but Fofana's strike is embarrassingly wide of the mark, actually bending out for a throw.
39'
Inter respond straight away with a good passage of play on the break, but Brozovic just misses the mark again. Pressure is back on again in an instant, and the hosts win their ninth - NINTH - corner of this first half, though Udinese deal with it yet again.
37'
Finally a bit of relief for Udinese as they mount an attack, with De Paul eventually winning their first corner of the match. They have been hemmed back in their own end since taking the lead, but they have finally provided their backline with a bit of respite - as temporary as it may be.
35'
Uninterrupted pressure here from Inter as they're having their way with Udinese in attack. This passage culminates in a corner, which is cleared only as far as Brozovic, who whistles a volley inches wide of the far post from 20 yards with Bizzarri beaten there!
33'
Lovely skill from Valero! The midfielder nutmegs Fofana to get himself through into a dangerous area, then drives a strike through the legs of Nuytinck, but it's just too central in the end as Bizzarri is able to make the save! Pressure stays on at Nuytinck redeems himself this time, stretching out to deny what would have been a tap-in for Icardi.
31'
STAT: Inter had previously conceded only one goal in the opening 30 minutes of play (a league-low in Serie A this season), while Udinese had shipped 11 goals in the same period, fewer only than Benevento (12).
29'
Candreva provides the subsequent delivery from the set-piece, but Udinese deal with the initial threat. Pressure stays on and Perisic tries his luck from range, with a deflection taking his effort wide of the near post as Bizzarri was rooted to his spot there.
28'
Ali Adnan gets yellow.
Adnan goes into the book for a ridiculously cynical challenge on Candreva, sticking out a leg with every intention on tripping him up after the ball had been nudged beyond him.
25'
Inter are looking in complete control here still, the Udinese goal just a minor setback in a match that has otherwise been one-way traffic. The visitors need to do better in the wide areas, currently affording too much time and space to Perisic and Candreva, with the likes of Adnan and Widmer lacking in support.
23'
Udinese put the ball out of play amidst cries from the Inter players and supporters, with Candreva down grabbing his foot. The Inter winger was stepped on, but there didn't appear to be much in that, and those sentiments are verified as he pops up moments later showing no ill-effects from the coming together.
21'
Inter's movement off the ball is causing all sorts of problems for Udinese, who have been merely hanging on and banking on missed chances for the hosts as opposed to dealing with things on their own accord. Santon sees a long-range strike saved by Bizzarri, before Candreva misses by mere inches a minute later.
19'
STAT: Kevin Lasagna scored his first Serie A goal at San Siro against Inter in January 2016 when playing for Carpi. This season he had already netted a goal in this stadium, against AC Milan.
17'
A flurry at San Siro and suddenly things are even at one apiece! The speed with which Inter got that goal back speaks volumes about their pedigree as title challengers this season. Last year they likely would have folded after conceding early and against the run of play like that, but this side has a very different feel to them now. They believe.
15'
M. Icardi has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by A. Candreva.
Candreva picks up the assist for that lovely cross in from the right.
INSTANT RESPONSE FROM INTER! Well that's what champions are made of, isn't it? A slip by Adnan allows Candreva space on the right, and the winger whips in a splendid delivery for Icardi, who makes no mistake with a composed finish for his Serie A-leading 15th goal of the campaign!
14'
K. Lasagna has scored a goal for Udinese! Assist by S. Widmer.
Excellent play from the wide man Widmer, who provides the assist.
AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY, UDINESE LEAD! Santon wins the ball smartly on the flank, but gives it straight back to Widmer, who runs inside encouragingly and flashes a terrific ball across the face of goal for Lasagna, who turns it into the empty net from no more than three yards!
13'
Inter remain very comfortable in possession, getting forward as they please. They've been consistent in providing quality balls into the area, but the Udinese defence has done just enough to keep them out thus far. Still, it's been far too easy for the leaders early on.
11'
STAT: Inter have won each of their last five league meetings with Udinese, scoring 16 goals and conceding just five in the process.
9'
Great determination from the winger! Icardi now turns provider as he does very well to get a cross in from a tight angle on the right flank, which Perisic does brilliantly to get a touch on, but his redirected effort drifts wide of the far post!
7'
Good chance! Inter keep knocking on the door here, and their two wingers link up to issue a warning to Udinese. Perisic opens up space for himself on the left and drives in an inviting cross for Candreva, but his header is sent into the waiting arms of Bizzarri.
5'
CLOSE! First chance for Inter following the game's first corner, as Skriniar keeps play alive and floats in another cross towards the far post. Vecino meets in, but sends his header crashing into the side netting. Good intent being shown by both sides in these early stages.
3'
Adnan wins an early free-kick in an advanced position on the left courtesy of a lovely show of skill, but Inter deal with the initial threat. Pressure is back on them soon after, however, but Barak can only send a strike high, wide and handsome - and now Inter are enjoying a confident spell in possession.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! Udinese in their black and white strip as they get the match underway, attacking right to left, with Inter in their blue and black stripes.
Hello and welcome to San Siro for live coverage of this Serie A match as leaders Inter welcome Udinese to town!
Inter remain unbeaten in the league this season, 12 wins and four draws through 16 matches, two of those draws coming away to their closest title challengers, Napoli and Juventus. They have dropped just two points at San Siro this season, against Torino.
The pressure remains on them, however, as they lead Napoli by just one point and Juventus by two at the summit. Focus must remain sharp, and it will be interesting to see how they respond after being pushed to penalties against Pordenone in the cup on Tuesday night.
Udinese come into the match in 13th place, exactly where they closed out the 2016/17 campaign, as they have failed to make strides forward this season under Luigi Delneri – though they are in the ascendency at the moment.
Udinese have won four of their last six matches in the league, after recording just two wins and seven defeats from their opening nine matches this campaign. They are the only club in the league yet to draw a match this season.
Luciano Spalletti names an unchanged side to the one that drew Juventus in Turin last weekend. Mauro Icardi leads the line, flanked by Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva, with Marcelo Brozovic occupying the 10 hole just behind the striker.
Massimo Oddo makes one change from the 2-0 victory over struggling Benevento, with Rodrigo de Paul coming in to support striker Kevin Lasagna, replacing Maxi Lopez.
Despite a dominating first-half display from Inter, the clubs head into the interval on level terms. Udinese took a surprise lead through striker Kevin Lasagna, but it took Inter all of one minute to restore parity at San Siro, Mauro Icardi netting his 15th goal of the campaign, and they were unlucky not to find a second despite relentless pressure on the Udinese goal.
Inter failed to come away with a lead after a dominating display in the first half, and they are made to pay as goals from Rodrigo de Paul and Antonin Barak cap off a remarkable second-half effort from Udinese as they deal leaders Inter their first defeat of the campaign.
That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
