Inter Milan blew a two-goal to drop points at the top of Serie A as Bologna earned a 2-2 draw at the San Siro.<\/p>\n

Inter looked set to move clear at the summit of the table after they burst into a 2-0 lead after just 13 minutes as Francesco Acerbi and Lautaro Martinez scored.<\/p>\n

But mid-table Bologna hit back, with Bendetta Orsolini scoring from the penalty spot before the break and Joshua Zirkzee earned a point after the break.<\/p>\n

The result was a big boost for Inter\u2019s city rivals AC Milan, who play at Genoa later on Saturday and go three points ahead with a win.<\/p>\n

Although the hosts made a fast start, it was Bologna that almost drew first blood as former Aberdeen midfielder Lewis Ferguson hit the post in an open start to the match.<\/p>\n

But it was the hosts that soon took control as Acerbi headed home from Hakan Calhanoglu\u2019s corner in the 11th minute.<\/p>\n

Two minutes later it was 2-0 as Martinez doubled the lead in style, rocketing a 25-yard shot into the top corner for his 10th goal of the season, becoming just the third Inter player in history to reach double figures in the opening eight matches.<\/p>\n

Bologna were shell-shocked, but they responded well and were awarded an 18th-minute penalty when VAR spotted an infringement at a corner, with Martinez ruled to have fouled Ferguson.<\/p>\n

Orsolini converted from 12 yards, though Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer may be disappointed after he got a hand to it.<\/p>\n

Inter should have restored their two-goal lead eight minutes before the break as both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Calhanoglu found space in the area but could not get a shot away.<\/p>\n

Bologna responded well after the break and levelled seven minutes after the restart.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee got the ball on the edge of the area and wrong-footed Sommer, shooting into the near post to make it 2-2.<\/p>\n

Inter thought they had regained the lead on the hour when Sanchez converted Carlos Augusto\u2019s cross, but it was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

Boss Simone Inzhagi\u2019s frustration boiled over and he received a yellow card in protestations at refereeing decisions.<\/p>\n

His mood did not improve as Martinez then flashed a header just wide from a corner as they pushed to regain the lead.<\/p>\n

The pressure mounted in the final 10 minutes with Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski beating away Augusto\u2019s shot before the same player headed over at the death.<\/p>\n
