Milan are now the Serie A leaders with a two-point lead, although it is technically three points, as they have a superior head-to-head record over Inter.

That means the Rossoneri have their fate in their hands, but also what on paper is a tougher run-in, as the Serie A title race could go down to the wire.

Serie A | Bologna 2-1 Inter: Radu howler is a Scudetto gift for Milan

A win in Bologna would’ve sent Inter one point top of the table, but the Week 20 fixture postponed from January 6 due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Rossoblu camp did not go the way they expected at the Stadio Dall’Ara.

Ivan Perisic’s opener was cancelled out by a Marko Arnautovic header, then late on Ionut Radu’s howler on a throw-in allowed Nicola Sansone to tap in from a yard.

Milan are two points clear at the top now, but their advantage is technically three points, because they have the advantage in head-to-head record with Inter.

That is because they earned a draw and a victory over the course of the campaign.

Therefore, if Milan win three and draw one of their remaining four games, the Scudetto is theirs.
