Roma stall Inter 2-2, AC Milan move fourth in Serie A

Roma battled back for a 2-2 draw which denied Inter Milan second place in Serie A in a Stadio Olimpico thriller between two sides looking to impress after losing in Europe during the week.

Keita Balde Diao gave Inter the half-time lead amid Roma fury at having a penalty appeal denied, but the side from the capital powered back with a Cendiz Under scorcher after the break on Sunday.

Aleksandar Kolarov slotted in a penalty to seal a point for the Romans to cancel out Inter captain Mauro Icardi's header.

Inter -- who lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League midweek -- remain third, level on 29 points with second-placed Napoli who travel to Atalanta on Monday.

Champions Juventus opened up an 11-point lead on Napoli with a 3-0 win at Fiorentina Saturday with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring from the spot to bag his 10th goal in 14 games.

"It was a very entertaining match for all watching and I think a valuable point for both teams," said Inter coach Luciano Spalletti.

"It shows we are on the right track."
"I want to know, and we all do, how those in the VAR booth didn't see that foul. We all saw it on a far smaller screen."
