Match Reports
Romelu Lukaku was Inter's hero, converting an injury-time penalty for his second goal of the game as Antonio Conte's men came from behind to beat Bologna 2-1 at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
Despite enjoying the better of the first half, title-chasing Inter looked set to drop points when Roberto Soriano opened the scoring in the 59th minute, courtesy of a shot that took a deflection off Stefan de Vrij.
However, Lukaku pulled the Nerazzurri level with 15 minutes remaining, pouncing to convert a rebound from a tight angle.
And the striker held his nerve from the penalty spot to secure three points after strike partner Lautaro Martinez had been clumsily fouled by Riccardo Orsolini.

17' Lukaku's shot blocked
BLOCK! Skorupski receives the ball under pressure and ends up passing it straight to Martinez. The Argentine cuts back for Lukaku in acres of space and the Belgian hits one at goal first-time, but Bani is there to divert it behind and bail his goalkeeper out!
33' OFFSIDE! Lautaro's goal disallowed
NO GOAL! Lautaro Martinez thinks he's clean through on goal and he rounds Skorupski before slotting into an empty net, but the whistle goes and the flag is up for offside!
38' Lukaku's goal disallowed
NO GOAL! Gagliardini takes a cross-field pass in well and plays it towards the byline for Lazaro. The Austrian is stretching to get there and slides in to cross, with Lukaku turning in after Skorupski's parry, but the ball is deemed to have run out of play!
59' GOAL! Bologna 1-0 Inter (Soriano)
GOAL!! BOLOGNA TAKE THE LEAD! A wonderful, flowing move was started and finished by Soriano, who struck a fierce effort that took a deflection off De Vrij and flew past Handanovic! It's 1-0 to Bologna!
75' GOAL! Bologna 1-1 Inter (Lukaku)
GOAL!! LUKAKU LEVELS THE SCORES! Brozovic's cross causes plenty of problems and Skriniar lashes a shot at goal that Skorupski saves superbly from close range! However, it's parried to Lukaku at the back post who makes no mistake and buries the ball in the net! It's 1-1!
90' Penalty Goal! Bologna 1-2 Inter (Lukaku)
PENALTY! This time it is given and rightly so! Martinez's quick feet in the area draw a clumsy foul by Orsolini and the referee points to the spot!
GOAL!! LUKAKU HAS SURELY WON IT FOR INTER! It's a great penalty, lashed into the bottom-left corner with Skorupski diving the wrong way. It's 2-1 to Inter now!
