Inter Milan recovered from a goal down to earn a 3-2 win at Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday, with striker Edin Dzeko netting twice to send the visitors into provisional fourth place.
Nigerian International Ademola Lookman put the hosts ahead in the 25th minute scoring his third goal in his fourth successive game when he converted a spot kick into the top right corner after Duvan Zapata had been brought down.
Inter leveled 11 minutes later through Dzeko after Lautaro Martinez nodded the ball into the six-yard box for the Bosnia striker to finish with a clever backheel.
Simone Inzaghi’s visitors took the lead when Dzeko’s strike from close range deflected off Atalanta defender Joakim Maehle into the net after 56 minutes.
Inter went 3-1 up just after the hour when home defender Jose Luis Palomino headed the ball into his net after Martinez nodded on a corner from Hakan Calhanoglu.
Palomino made amends in the 77th when he cut the deficit with a diving header from a corner.
Inter moved up one spot to fourth on 30 points, two points ahead of fifth-placed Juventus, who host Lazio later on Sunday.
Atalanta remains sixth on 27 points
