That’s a bounce back from a Derby d’Italia defeat! Merciless Inter topple Bologna

Bologna missed the chance to make it four Serie A wins on the bounce for the first time since 2008 as Inter Milan ran out 6-1 winners at the San Siro, easing the pressure on under-fire head coach Simone Inzaghi and moving the Nerazzurri into the top four in the process.Inzaghi’s opposite number Thiago Motta – part of the treble-winning Inter side of 2009-10 – had a tough start to his Rossoblù tenure, but his side’s newfound confidence brought about by improved results was evident early on at San Siro.Abraham’s goal not enough for Mourinho as Roma draw in SassuoloThe visitors had the first opportunity of the contest when Alessandro Bastoni gave away possession sloppily to Marko Arnautović, who broke forward and fed Musa Barrow, with the 23-year-old’s effort from the left edge of the box zipping past André Onana’s far post. The Inter goalkeeper did well to smother a drilled Arnautović shot shortly afterwards, while at the other end, Jhon Lucumi blocked Edin Džeko’s goalbound effort. However, Bologna took the lead completely out of the blue midway through the first half as Riccardo Orsolini’s 30-yard volley cannoned off the back of Charalampos Lykogiannis to leave Onana wrongfooted and the home faithful stunned.However, Lykogiannis was on the wrong end of a deflection minutes later as Denzel Dumfries’ cross clipped the left-back and looped up in the air for Džeko to slam in a jaw-dropping volley. The comeback was soon complete when Lucumi was booked for a challenge on Lautaro Martínez, with Federico Dimarco stepping up to curl home the free-kick from 20 yards. Martínez then got on the scoresheet himself just before the break after four games without a goal, nodding home Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s inswinging corner.Džeko somehow failed to double his tally for the evening almost immediately after the interval when he headed Dumfries’ sumptuous cross against the bar from a few yards out, but that quickly ceased to matter as Dimarco produced a neat turn to outfox the recently introduced Joaquín Sosa before whipping into the far corner.Sosa’s half got worse as he handballed to concede a penalty following a VAR review, with Çalhanoğlu making no mistake from 12 yards. Inter went on to match the result from last season’s corresponding fixture as Marcelo Brozović’s slide-rule pass released Džeko, whose clip over visiting goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski was converted at the back stick by substitute Robin Gosens.SERIE A – ROUND 14TuesdayNapoli – Empoli 2-0 (0-0)/Lozano 69 pen, Zielinski 88/Spezia – Udinese 1-1 (1-1)/Reca 33 – Lovric 43/Cremonese – Milan 0-0WednesdayLecce – Atalanta 2-1 (2-1)/Baschirotto 28, Di Francesco 30 – Zapata 40/Sassuolo – Roma 0-1 (0-0)/Abraham 80/Fiorentina – Salernitana 2-1 (1-0)/Bonaventura 15, Jovic 82 – Dia 55/Inter – Bologna 6-1 (3-1)/Dzeko 26, Dimarco 36, 48, Martinez 42, Calhanoglu 59, Gosens 76 – Lykogiannis 22/Torino – Sampdoria 2-0 (1-0)/Radonjic 29, Vlasic 59/Thursday20:30: (5.70) Verona (3.80) Juventus (1.70)22:45: (1.65) Lazio (4.00) Monza (5.90)***odds are subject to change***©FLashScore
