What a situation we have here. Inter, Roma and Napoli are ALL top of the table on 15 points.
Juve could join them. Milan could leapfrog them onto 16.
Ange-Yoan Bonny sprung the offside trap to give Inter a huge victory away to joint leaders Roma, allowing them to catch the Giallorossi and Napoli in first place.

Ball comes down kindly for Baldanzi to take the volley on the edge of the area, but Zielinski gets there first and is clattered. Baldanzi booked.
We are into 5 minutes of added time.
Bailey free kick finds the head of Cristante, but it’s over the bar!
Dovbyk gathers with his back to goal, manages to turn Acerbi and get the shot away, but Sommer right behind it at the near post.
A bit of general chaos from Roma, Baldanzi knew full well he was offside, and the linesman frankly kept it going longer than necessary.
Inter with a corner that is not cleared, Akanji scuffs the finish well wide.
Frattesi gets down the right and pulls back from the by-line, Mkhitaryan sweeps first-time and hits the upright!
Zielinski and Carlos Augusto on for Inter, Barella and Dimarco off.
Bailey with a free kick routine that was a terrible idea, intercepted by Dimarco.
Soule’ off, Ferguson on for Roma.
Sucic into the book too, it’s getting fiery.
Mkhitaryan is also booked, this time for dissent after a free kick is given against him for the foul on Kone.
Dybala and Hermoso off, Baldanzi and debutant Bailey on for Roma.
It’s not Dovbyk’s day! He gets in the way of the Celik pull-back from the by-line!
Inter then try to counter, so Hermoso takes one for the team dragging down Mkhitaryan.
Poor clearance, Bastoni controls with his left foot, volleys with his right, and the deflection off Wesley is decisive!
Ziolkowski into the book for clattering the back of Pio Esposito.
