Inter come from behind to rout Bologna 6-1

:Inter Milan came from a goal down to ease to a crushing 6-1 home win over Bologna in Serie A on Wednesday and climb to fourth in the standings.

Inter, who lost 2-0 at bitter rivals Juventus on Sunday, moved up three places on to 27 points, level with Atalanta in fifth and third-placed Lazio who host Monza on Thursday.

"Tonight we were playing against a team that had come from four consecutive victories," Inter coach Simone Inzaghi told DAZN.

"We took an unfortunate goal but the team stayed in the game, scored immediately and gave a great response. We have won five games out of the last six."

The visitors' joy was short-lived, however, as striker Edin Dzeko levelled four minutes later with a superb first-time shot from the edge of the box.

Federico Dimarco made it 2-1 for Inter with a perfect free kick following Jhon Lucumi's foul on Lautaro Martinez.

The Italy defender took a low shot from the edge of the box, sending it inside the left post.

Simone Inzaghi's side added one more goal before halftime when Martinez nodded in a corner from midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu for his first goal in five games.

The hosts could have struck again just after halftime but Dzeko's close-range header crashed off the bar.

One minute later, however, Dimarco netted again, evading his marker Joaquin Sosa inside the area and sending the ball into the bottom left corner.

Inter made it 5-1 through Calhanoglu's spot-kick, after the penalty was awarded for Sosa's handball, and Dzeko completed the rout with a tap-in in the 76th minute.
