Jonathan Rowe had an early effort blocked and was denied by a splendid Yann Bisseck sliding tackle, while Santiago Castro’s first touch let him down after Josep Martinez got into a tangle playing out from the back.

Inter took the lead with their first real scoring opportunity, as Dimarco celebrated his Serie A MVP status with a sensational free kick curled into the near top corner. With seven goals and 17 assists, no defender contributed to more goals in the last 20 years of the top five European Leagues. His celebration also hinted the Dimarco family is growing.

The lead did not last long, as Federico Bernardeschi flicked on a throw-in with his heel to send Castro into the box, then was ready to prod home the rebound from seven yards when Stefan de Vrij cut him off.

Remo Freuler ballooned over from eight yards after an awkward bounce, while Rowe drilled just wide, then Carlos Augusto made the decisive block from six yards as Castro met the Freuler assist.

Bologna turned it around before half-time, as Tommaso Pobega’s volley from the edge of the area took a double deflection off Petar Sucic and Lautaro Martinez to totally wrongfoot the Inter goalkeeper.

If there were doubts on who to credit with that goal, the Bologna third was definitely an Inter own goal. Juan Miranda pulled back from the left by-line for Bernardeschi, but Piotr Zielinski got there first and accidentally turned into his own net from close range.

Bernardeschi fired straight at the Inter goalkeeper, while Lukasz Skorupski’s leg turned a Carlos Augusto effort onto the side-netting from close range.

Andy Diouf dribbled between two down the right and his finish thumped the base of the near post, allowing Francesco Pio Esposito the easiest of tap-ins on the rebound.

It was nearly 4-2 moments later, as Castro stood up a cross and the acrobatic Rowe volley didn’t connect from six yards, while Diouf and Lewis Ferguson drilled wide.

Diouf was fired up and ran onto the perfectly-weighted pass from 20-year-old Luka Topalovic, taking one touch before smashing the right-foot finish into the roof of the net from a tricky angle.

This goal made for an interesting statistic, as it means each of the last three times Inter won the Serie A title, they did it by scoring 89 goals.
