Inter demolishes Roma 4-2 under the rain to continue title march

Inter secured a 4-2 victory against AS Roma in a wet Stadio Olimpico, widening their Serie A lead to seven points. Although Roma initially led 2-1, an Angelino own goal tilted the balance in Inter’s favor, and Alessandro Bastoni sealed the win with a stoppage-time fourth goal. This triumph solidifies Inter’s position at the top of the Serie A table with a seven-point lead.

In an intense encounter, Inter overcame an early deficit to defeat Roma 4-2, extending their Serie A lead to seven points and putting an end to Daniele De Rossi’s flawless start in the capital. De Rossi, taking over from Jose Mourinho until the end of the season, had won his first three games as Giallorossi boss, facing a formidable challenge against an unbeaten Inter side since September.

Under heavy rain, Francesco Acerbi headed Inter in front after 17 minutes, but Roma responded admirably. Gianluca Mancini scored from a free-kick, and Stephan El Shaarawy’s finish off both posts edged them ahead on the cusp of halftime. The determined Nerazzurri came back strongly in the second half, equalizing in four minutes with Marcus Thuram’s goal. Pressure from Thuram led to an unfortunate Angelino own goal six minutes later.

Despite late pressure from Roma, Inter’s stellar defense held firm, capitalizing on counterattacks. Alessandro Bastoni sealed the victory with a goal during a three-versus-one breakaway, maintaining Inter’s unbeaten streak and widening their lead at the top of the Serie A table.
