Inter breathing down Napoli neck, Roma left breathless

Wednesday night was the night when Roma’s three-match winning run ended abruptly. Jose Mourinho took his team to Bologna and suffered a tame 1-0 defeat after a largely disappointing display bereft of energy and urgency.Dybala scores one and misses a penalty in Juve’s comfortable win against SalernitanaAlthough Bologna haven’t been quite as convincing as last season, they still had enough to give the visitors from Italy’s capital a torrid night. After Tammy Abraham had missed an early chance, the Rossoblu combined well and scored through Mattias Svanberg just before the break to make Roma’s struggle an even more dauting one.Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Abraham came close for the Giallorossi in the second half, but it looked like this wasn’t going to be their night despite enjoying more possession.Late pressure nearly paid off for Mourinho, but Abraham, the man who’d already saved him a few time this season couldn’t find a way past Bologna’s inspired goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski.#Bologna-#Roma 1-0, Mattias #Svanberg porta in vantaggio i rossoblù al 35’#SerieA pic.twitter.com/XIMKNv94uo— Francesco Livorti (@FrancescoLivo_) December 1, 2021 The win saw Bologna climb to the eighth position in the Serie A table – just a point behind Roma.Meanwhile, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the champions have been relentless. Inter beat Spezia 2-0 to keep the pressure on first-placed Napoli and make it 24 league games unbeaten at their iconic home ground.Lautaro Martinez provided a classy backheeled assist for Roberto Gagliardini to sweep home and give Nerazzurri the lead. And they never looked back. It was Lautaro who won a penalty when Jakub Kiwior blocked the Argentine’s shot with his arm. Lautaro himself picked the ball up, placed onto the spot and dispatched it past Ivan Provedel to secure one of the easiest wins Inter will take this season.SERIE A – Round 15TuesdayAtalanta – Venezia 4-0 (2-0)/Pasalic 7, 12, 67, Koopmeiners 57/Fiorentina – Sampdoria 3-1 (3-1)/Callejon 23, Vlahovic 32, Sottil 45 – Gabbiadini 15/Verona – Cagliari 0-0Salernitana – Juventus 0-2 (0-1)/Dybala 21, Morata 70/WednesdayBologna – Roma 1-0 (1-0)/Svanberg 35/Inter – Spezia 2-0 (1-0)/Gagliardini 36, martinez 58 pen/22.45: (6.25) Genoa (3.80) Milan (1.65)22.45: (4.20) Sassuolo (3.60) Napoli (1.95)Thursday20.30: (1.85) Torino (3.70) Empoli (4.60)22.45: (1.67) Lazio (3.80) Udinese (6.00)***odds are subject to change
