Roma hold Inter; AC Milan move fourth

Roma's Aleksandar Kolarov scores from a penalty kick against Inter Milan in the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

Roma battled back for a 2-2 draw which denied Inter Milan second place in Serie A on Sunday 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. 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.
Roma - who advanced to the Champions League knockout rounds despite losing to Real Madrid - have only won one of their last six league matches and are down in seventh place.
Inter are now four points ahead of city rivals AC Milan who moved fourth after Patrick Cutrone and Franck Kessie sealed a 2-1 comeback win over promoted Parma.
Lazio dropped to fifth a point back after being held 1-1 at bottom club Chievo.
