VERONA, Italy -Lucky Inter Milan claimed a 2-1 victory at Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday, with a brilliant Piotr Zielinski strike and a last-gasp own goal from Martin Frese sealing the win.

The win put Inter in third place with 21 points, equal with AS Roma and one point behind leaders Napoli. Roma were playing fourth-placed AC Milan later on Sunday.

Inter took just 16 minutes to display their quality as Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner found an unmarked Zielinski on the edge of the box. The Polish midfielder curled a superb right-footed strike into the top left corner to open the scoring.

Verona struck back five minutes before the break when Giovane was released down the right wing, holding off the Inter defence before firing a sharp, angled shot to level the score.
