Inter dominate in-form Roma to overtake Milan and go top of Serie A

Internazionale moved to the top of the Serie A standings after they earned a 3-1 victory over Roma on Saturday.

With rivals Milan not in action until Sunday against Lazio, last season’s champions took full advantage to move to the Serie A summit after beating a Roma side who had gone 12 games unbeaten in the Italian top flight before their trip to the San Siro.

Flying full-back Denzel Dumfries fired his side into the lead on the half-hour mark, before a fine solo effort from Marcelo Brozovic doubled the dominant hosts’ advantage five minutes before the break.

The striker Lautaro Martínez headed home from a corner in the 52nd minute to make it three for Inter. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored on a consolation in the 85th minute but it was too little too late for the visitors. Inter’s fourth successive league win moved them on to 72 points from 33 matches, one ahead of Milan. Roma stay fifth on 58 points.

In Germany, Bayern Munich sealed their 10th Bundesliga title in succession by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1. Earlier Union Berlin struck twice late in the game to come from a goal down and win 2-1 at RB Leipzig, taking revenge for their midweek last-gasp German Cup semi-final exit at the hands of the same opponents.

Sven Michel’s 86th-minute goal cancelled out Yussuf Poulsen’s opener for Leipzig in the 46th, before Kevin Behrens drilled in an 89th-minute winner. Leipzig had beaten them on Wednesday by the same score thanks to Emil Forsberg’s stoppage-time winner.

Leipzig dropped to fourth place on 54, with Bayer Leverkusen in third on 55 following their 4-1 win over relegated Greuther Fürth.

In France on Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain will be Ligue 1 champions for the eighth time in 11 seasons if they beat Lens, regaining
