There's no added time on the way - and Inter merely play it back to Handanovic to put out for the full-time whistle! The visitors win at the Dacia Arena and keep up their hunt for a Champions League place alive in spectacular fashion.
89'
A free-kick for Udinese in their own half now after Perisic fouls Samir, though the hosts are unable to make anything of it.
87'
Karamoh off the woodwork! The substitute should have finished that off, laid up a great chance on a silver platter; instead, one-on-one with Bizzarri, he thrashes it into the crossbar and Danilo clears the deflection.
85'
It's been a rather tepid last 10 minutes, until Cancelo works his way around the Udinese defence on the right and squares it in for Eder. Danilo intercepts and clears to avoid a fifth goal; he has been the stronger man at the back today for the hosts, by some distance.
84'
Éder enters the game and replaces Rafinha.
Rafinha is off for Inter now; Eder is the man to replace him.
79'
S. Perica enters the game and replaces K. Lasagna.
Y. Karamoh enters the game and replaces A. Candreva.
Lasagna also makes way for Udinese, with Stipe Perica on in his place.
It's Candreva last action too as Yann Karamoh replaces him.
78'
Candreva sprints down the right flank and unleashes a low, powerful shot on the run as he hits the box; he squeezes it just past the far-left post and out for a goal-kick.
76'
Rafinha squares a neat cross in from the right wing, in line with the Udinese box; Samir clears as the first man and Inter reform their attack further up the field.
74'
J. Jankto enters the game and replaces V. Behrami.
Valon Behrami departs for Udinese now and Jakub Jankto takes his place.
71'
Borja Valero has scored a goal for Inter Milan!
Inter have their fourth! It's Valero, who meets a lovely low pass into the box on its left edge, before he turns on a dime and slots it between the legs of Larsen and behind Bizzarri. A well-earned reward for a fine game.
Minute
Description
69'
D. Santon enters the game and replaces Dalbert.
Davide Santon is Inter's first swap of the day, replacing Dalbert for the visitors.
65'
Rafinha launches a thundering cross into the box from 30 yards out on the right looking for Perisic; Bizzarri gets his fists to the ball first and clears for Udinese.
64'
Balic tries his luck for Udinese after Larsen clips a flat pass to him out on the right; his effort is soft though and Handanovic is untroubled.
62'
Again, the game has setlled into a rather languid rhythm; Inter don't have the urgency of the opening 45 anymore but nor do they strictly need it with a three-goal lead.
58'
Moments later, Valero is the provider again; this time however, his intended target - Perisic - is called for offside as he goes forward to collect the pass.
57'
Valero lays up a neat pass for Dalbert on the left edge, just outside the box now; the defender pushes his effort wide at the far-right post. Inter are brimming with confidence.
54'
Udinese come again, through Lasagna on the right; in trying to get around Dalbert at the back however, he brings the Inter defender down and the visitors get a free-kick.
52'
Lasagna - who has started this second half better than any of his teammates - goes close again, threaded through by Balic on the left. His finish is poor however, and skips out at the near post.
51'
A. Barák enters the game and replaces R. De Paul.
Being a man down requires a change for the hosts; de Paul is not happy as Antonin Barak takes his place on the field for Udinese.
49'
S. Fofana goes off after a red card!
It's a red! Udinese are down to 10 men as the referee shows the card to Fofana! That is not how they wanted to start the second half.
48'
Perisic goes down under a big challenge from Fofana - and the referee wants to have a second look through VAR at it.
46'
We're back underway for the second half and Lasagna goes close inside 40 seconds; he slips through on the left after a lovely pass off de Paul, and then just hooks his effort wide at the far-right post.
45' +1
M. Icardi has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by M. Brozović.
It was a well weighted assist from Brozovic to tee up the score; Inter look set to run rampant as they go in for half-time. Udinese need a miracle to find a point, never mind three.
Icardi makes it three! It's a fine finish from the Inter captain, as he is slipped a through ball by Brozovic into the right of the box, where his slots under Bizzarri at the near post. It will be the last play of the game - and the visitors look to have wrapepd it up before the break.
45'
One added minute as Inter press forward once more through Icardi down the right. Udinese are looking all at sea around the back.
43'
Rafinha has scored a goal for Inter Milan!
What a finish by Rafinha! Inter go two goals up with a lovely strike from the Brazilian as he cuts a path through the right flank, steps into the box and curls it in at the close bottom corner. Udinese have a long way to go to come back in this one.
42'
Balic finds himself one-on-one with Handanovic and a deflection off the keeper's gloves sends it bouncing off the left post; but the flag was up for offside regardless.
40'
Save from Bizzarri! Brozovic takes a free-kick, won by Rafinha, from 30 yards out on the left; the keeper dives right to keep it out with a fine save.
38'
Another great chance for Inter as Rafinha sqaures a pass behind a loose Udinese defence and Perisic fails to put power behind his finish, gifting Bizzarri an easy save.
36'
Lasagna! That should have been the equaliser! The Udinese striker times himself perfectly to come off the left edge for a through ball from de Paul; one-on-one with Handanovic 10 yards out, he puts it straight to the keeper's waiting gloves.
34'
Danilo gets yellow.
Danilo is booked for a nasty challenge in the build-up too, though no free-kick is awarded due to advantage play.
33'
Candreva! That should have been 2-0 as the forward misses an absolute sitter for Inter, slipped through by Perisic into the right of the Udinese box before he blasts it over the far-right crossbar corner. Wasteful finishing.
31'
Or do they? Out of nothing, Lasagna makes a fine break down the left flank and goes to ground under a challenge from Skriniar in the box as he tries to shoot. The referee waves away any penalty claims however and Inter get the goal-kick.
30'
Both sides have settled into a mid-tempo stroll under the baking sunshine as this game ticks over the half-hour mark; despite increasing their possession, Udinese still don't look likely to breach Inter's defence.
28'
Six of the last 10 goals conceded by Udinese in Serie A have come from crosses before today; Inter have scored the most goals following a cross in the Italian top-flight this season with 17. It's easy to see where the hosts are weak.
26'
Udinese win back-to-back corners from their ad-hoc counter, but neither can stick; the second is saved by Handanovic and the keeper blasts it away from the Inter half.
24'
Inter resume normal service as Candreva is laid on a great pass off a Perisic break to try his luck inside the box; Samir deflects it away from danger and Udinese clear their lines in a hurry again.
22'
Back-to-back free kicks now for Udinese as Lasagna and de Paul are both fouled coming out of their own half. It tees up a half-chance for Udinese; but the second set-piece is deflected away from the box and Fofana's follow-up sails somewhere into the stands behind.
20'
A diving header from Adnan is enough to deny Inter a certain second; Cancelo wins a free-kick out on the right wing that is swung in at the near-right post from 30 yards away, and only the effort from the winger stops Rafinha from bundling it in.
18'
Desperate defending from Udinese as Perisic gets out behind the defence; the Inter man tears down the left flank and goes to cut inside, before Bizzarri slides under him at the edge of the box to take away the ball. A follow-up shot looks to catch the hosts out with the keeper off his line; Danilo doubles back in time to blast clear.
16'
The visitors force back-to-back corners off Behrami now and the second falls well for Cancelo inside the box; he skies it as he slips on the turf however and the ball flies over the crossbar for a goal-kick.
14'
Udinese look to respond and have their first shot of the game; Seko Fofana hooks a left-footed effort from distance out at the far-right post under pressure from the Inter defence.
12'
A. Ranocchia has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by M. Brozović.
Brozovic's corner looked to be heading in all on its own and replays are inconclusive on whether Ranocchia even got a touch. Inter won't complain; they have the lead after a commanding opening salvo.
Inter are in the lead! Andrea Ranocchia gets the slightest of touches to a Marcelo Brozovic corner after Perisic forced a defensive mistake on the left flank to help guide the swinging effort past Bizzarri and into the bottom-right corner. 1-0 to the visitors.
11'
Icardi is the latest Inter player to go for goal, this time from just inside the centre of the box; again, Bizzarri is alert to the danger. The visitors are pressing down hard; they have had four clear-cut chances already.
9'
Perisic goes for goal from some 30 yards out on the left; his effort goes straight into the hands of Bizzarri. Inter look the more threatening side in these opening exchanges by some distance.
8'
Bizzarri is forced into a smart dive to his right under pressure after Rafinha tries a low, powerful shot from the right edge of the box. Udinese's defence is not holding its shape at all in this first 10 minutes.
7'
Another free-kick for Inter, albeit this time deep in their own half after Cancelo is fouled by Adnan. The visitors play it back to their keeper under pressure, with Udinese pushing them back at pace after they take it short.
5'
Free-kick to Inter in a promising position now, tight on the right edge near the corner post. They swing it in over the box for Perisic at the far-left post again, who lands a perfect header - cleared by Danilo with a header of his own from almost under the crossbar! What a piece of defence.
3'
Close for the visitors! Candreva intercepts a loose pass from Samir around the Udinese defence and floats a brilliant cross from the right in towards the far-left post for Icardi; Danilo does enough to rise above and clear for the hosts.
1'
We're underway in Udine on a gorgeous Sunday and it's the hosts who press first, with Lasagna laying on de Paul on the left flank. Inter intercept and play in back to Handanovic in goal before they spark their own counter.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of week 36 of the 2017-18 Serie A season as Champions League-chasing Inter travel to relegation-threatened Udinese looking for payback at the Dacia Arena. Igor Tudor's men inflicted a 3-1 defeat upon the Nerazzurri at the San Siro in December; will Luciano Spalletti’s side have their revenge with three points in the race for the top four?
Udinese have flirted with the drop to Serie B for much of the year, and only sit three points above 18th-placed Chievo after picking up just one point in their last five games. Their run-in beyond Inter is a mixed bag; they face relegated Verona and mid-table Bologna in their last two games, and Tudor will likely know that a win from any will massively bolster their chances of retaining top-flight status next season.
UDINESE (3-5-1-1): Albano Bizzarri; Danilo, Jens Stryger Larsen, Samir; Seko Fofana, Andrija Balic, Silvan Widmer, Ali Adnan, Valon Behrami; Rodrigo de Paul; Kevin Lasagna
Team news now, as we approach kick-off at the Dacia Arena…
INTER (4-5-1): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Joao Cancelo, Dalbert, Miranda; Rafinha, Marcelo Brozovic, Borja Valero, Ivan Perisic, Antonio Candreva; Mauro Icardi
Subs: Antonin Barak, Simone Scuffet, Francesco Zampano, Davide Borsellini, Svante Ingelsson, Stipe Perica, Jakub Jankto, Giuseppe Pezzella, Maxi Lopez, Emil Hallfredsson, Simone Pontisso, Bram Nuytinck
Inter trail both third-placed Roma and fourth-placed Lazio by four points, with a trio of games left to play for each of the sides this campaign. Spalletti’s men will hope that one of them slips up over the coming fortnight; in particular Lazio, whom Inter play on the final day of the season in what could be a straight shoot-out for a place in the Champions League.
Subs: Lisandro Lopez, Tommaso Berni, Yann Karamoh, Daniele Padelli, Andrea Pinamonti, Eder, Andrea Ranocchia, Davide Santon
The teams are out under glorious spring sunshine at the Dacia Arena.
An early score for Andrea Ranocchia set the tempo for Inter's domination of this encounter and though Udinese managed to keep themselves in with a sniff, late goals from Rafinha and Icardi have arguably all but ensured three points for the visitors. Half-time at the Dacia Arena, it's Udinese 0-3 Inter.
Inter's Champions League destiny may be out of their own hands at the moment still but they can bolster their chances again next time out, when they host Sassuolo in the penultimate match of the season. As for Udinese, they travel to already relegated Verona; where they may be in desperate need of three points, depending on results today. Until then however, thank you for joining us - and have a good week!
A Borja Valero goal was the only additional score in a slower second half in northern Italy, but it helped to add a little more gloss to a superb win for Inter. They dismantled Udinese from the start and take three points in excellent fashion to keep up their challenge for the top four. Their hosts equal their longest winless run in Serie A of 14 games - and face a tense few hours now to see how results shape up underneath them. At full-time at the Dacia Arena, it finishes Udinese 0-4 Inter.
