Inter Return to Serie A Summit After Late Venezia Collapse; Bologna Stun Milan 4-2 at San Siro

Inter Milan reclaimed the top spot in Serie A with a tense 2-0 victory at bottom club Venezia, courtesy of two late own goals that broke the hosts' resistance. The win moves Inter level on 25 points with Lazio, setting up a mouth-watering Milan derby on Saturday. Meanwhile, Bologna stunned AC Milan 4-2 at San Siro, with Samuel Mbangula scoring a hat-trick to hand Milan their first league defeat of the season. Alphadjo Cisse scored twice for Bologna, but it was Mbangula's treble that sealed a famous away win. Milan's unbeaten run ends just before the derby, piling pressure on Ruben Amorim's side. The results tighten the title race and add extra spice to the upcoming Milan showdown.
