Nicola Sansone scored a late winner as Inter relinquished their grasp on the Scudetto and failed to return to the Serie A summit after a 2-1 defeat at Bologna on Wednesday.
Milan regained top spot in the league with late victory at Lazio on Sunday and Inter made a good response in their game in hand at Stadio Renato Dall Ara when Ivan Perisic struck after just three minutes.
Marko Arnautovic restored parity against his former side 25 minutes later, though, and Sansone profited from an Ionut Radu mistake with nine minutes remaining to seal an unlikely victory.
Defeat left Inter two points behind leaders Milan with four games left to play as the neighbours battle for the title.

Luis Suarez sent a message of support to Lionel Messi and Neymar after the Paris Saint-Germain duo were booed by their own fans.
Mauricio Pochettino s team threw away a 2-0 aggregate lead to exit the Champions League at Real Madrid in midweek, prompting fury on their return to domestic action on Sunday.
Messi and Neymar were roundly jeered during PSG s 3-0 Ligue 1 win over Bordeaux, even when Neymar tapped home the team s second goal after a move which included a sublime defence-splitting pass from Messi.
Messi has not enjoyed his finest campaign since arriving in the French capital, scoring just two goals from 60 attempts (18 of them on target) in Ligue 1 this season, although he has hit the woodwork eight times in the league, more than any other player in the…
AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli hopes the recent appointment of senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic can provide the spark to help his side bridge the gap to Serie A’s top two ahead of their trip to bottom club Salernitana.
Pioli’s men go into the game five points behind second-placed Juventus but buoyed by the arrival of former hero Ibrahimovic, who is expected to be present in Salerno.
Pioli told a press conference: “He’s the same Zlatan. He is approaching a different role but he is curious and determined.
“I saw a motivated Ibra and it was an interesting day. He is an added value for me and the club, but he has great experience and he is a symbol of those who challenge the challengers.”
Pioli’s men still find themselves amid a mounting injury cr…

Karim Benzema does not believe there is a team capable of being better than best in the world Real Madrid.
The Frenchman left Madrid in 2023 after 14 years in which he won 25 major trophies, including five Champions Leagues, five Club World Cups and four LaLiga titles.
He scored 354 goals for Los Blancos in 648 appearances before joining Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.
Following his departure, Madrid won LaLiga and lifted their 15th Champions League title last season, and Benzema backs them to follow that up without a challenge.
A spectacular season, very good, Benzema told Marca. Real Madrid is always the best team in the world.
Players come and go, but Real Madrid will always be at the top, at the very top. It is the best and will continue…
Jose Mourinho ranks as the best manager Willian has worked with and the former Brazil attacker hopes more European honours will be heading the Roma coach s way.
Willian was part of Mourinho s Chelsea squad as the Blues secured a Premier League and EFL Cup double in 2015.

Alan Shearer believes Marcus Rashford should have left Manchester United if he wanted to reignite his England career.
Rashford enjoyed a stellar start to life under Erik ten Hag, netting 30 goals in all competitions during the Dutchman s first season in 2022-23.
However, he struggled to build on that momentum last campaign, scoring just eight goals and registering six assists in 43 appearances across all competitions, resulting in him being left out of Gareth Southgate s Euro 2024 squad.
So far this season, he has played in all four of United s matches but has failed to get a goal involvement so far, having had no shots and creating just three chances, meaning he has been unable to force himself into Lee Carsley s first Three Lions squad.
And former Engla…
