Inter completed another Serie A comeback victory to inflict the first defeat on Raffaele Palladino’s Bologna, with Marcus Thuram, Carlos Augusto and Ange-Yoan Bonny goals.

The Nerazzurri were shaken by the 4-3 home defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League, especially as Lautaro Martinez was ruled out for a month by a thigh injury, with Benjamin Pavard, Curtis Jones and John Stones already sidelined.

Bologna had their own issues, losing Riccardo Orsolini and Emil Holm for several weeks, but new coach Raffaele Palladino was turning things around with a draw against Torino and 2-1 victory away to Lecce. Matteo Darmian faced his former club, having joined the Rossoblu as a free agent on October 8.

Tommaso Pobega flashed a dangerous ball across the face of goal within 18 seconds, but Roberto Piccoli at full stretch couldn’t get the final touch.

Lukasz Skorupski returned in goal after being dropped and looked a little uncertain getting down to fingertip a Nicolò Barella half-volley wide, then Luis Henrique failed to make the most of being left unmarked on the Federico Dimarco corner.

Luis Henrique was caught in possession by Juan Miranda to send Pobega on the counter-attack, surging into the box and surprising Josep Martinez at the near post with the inside of the left boot.
