Champions Inter finish Serie A season with thrilling draw at Bologna

MILAN: Italian double winners Inter Milan finished a triumphant Serie A season by coming back from two goals down to secure an entertaining 3-3 at Bologna 3-3.

A 10th match without defeat left champions Inter 14 points clear at the top of the division, with second-placed Napoli hosting Udinese on Sunday.

Andy Diouf was Inter’s saviour in the 87th minute when he smashed home his first league goal for the club.

The former France under-21 international had been key to Pio Esposito pulling Inter back into the game when he wriggled between two defenders and hit the post in the 64th minute.

Esposito tapped in on the rebound to halve the deficit for Inter, who had been trailing by two just after half-time after Federico Bernardeschi, Tommaso Pobega and a Piotr Zielinski own goal cancelled out Federico Dimarco’s brilliant free-kick.
