European football: Two late own goals return Inter to top of Serie A but Milan lose at home

Inter returned to the top of Serie A with a 2-0 win at bottom side Venezia, helped by two late own goals. The result leaves Inter level on 25 points with Lazio before Saturday’s much-anticipated Milan derby, while Milan’s unbeaten league start ended in a 4-2 home defeat to Bologna.

At San Siro, Samuel Mbangula scored a hat-trick on his full debut for Bologna, who came from behind after Milan teenager Alphadjo Cisse scored twice. An own goal by Milan’s Davide Bartesaghi helped turn the match, and Bologna moved up to 11th on 11 points. Elsewhere, Stuttgart and Freiburg both scored late German Cup winners; Wednesday’s Copa del Rey matches were postponed after a deadly rail crash in Spain.
