Inter Milan returned to the Serie A summit with a nervy 2-0 win at bottom side Venezia on Wednesday, while a Samuel Mbangula hat-trick sealed a 4-2 win for Bologna at San Siro to inflict a first league defeat of the season on AC Milan.
Champions Inter drew level with Lazio on 25 points at the top ahead of a hotly anticipated Milan derby meeting with their rivals on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim’s side will go into that game on the back of losing their unbeaten streak after Alphadjo Cisse’s double was not enough to avoid a defeat that left the Rossoneri fifth on 18 points. Fresh off a pulsating stoppage-time turnaround against Fiorentina on Sunday that marked their fifth comeback win of the season, Inter thought they would have to fight back from behind once again when Lion Lauberbach fired the rock-bottom hosts in front after 29 minutes. The champions were handed a reprieve when it was ruled out for offside, but had goalkeeper Ivan Provedel to thank for keeping the scores level at the break as he diverted a Lauberbach effort off the bar. Venezia have picked up just three points all season but looked the likelier to make the breakthrough as Gianluca Busio fired over unmarked from 12 yards before Akor Adams rounded Provedel to score, only for the offside flag to save Inter again.
