Riccardo Orsolini’s spectacular last-gasp overhead kick breathed life into the Scudetto race, as Bologna stunned Serie A leaders Inter 1-0.

The striker’s 12th goal of the season was enough to snatch a dramatic victory at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, where the Nerazzurri missed the chance to regain their three-point cushion over second-place Napoli.

Simone Inzaghi’s side were once again looking to pull clear of the Partenopei, who beat Monza on Saturday, but Carlos Augusto sent a free header wide in the fourth minute.

Dan Ndoye – a scorer of five goals in Bologna’s last four league games – shot narrowly wide at the other end, while Benjamin Dominguez was also marginally off target after the break.

The contest appeared to be heading for a stalemate until stoppage time when Juan Miranda’s long throw was flicked on into the area, and Orsolini’s bicycle kick snatched all three points for the hosts.

Data Debrief: Lucky 13 for Bologna

Suffering a first defeat in 14 matches in all competitions, Inter have now lost three of their last six away league games – as many as in their previous 37.

Meanwhile, Bologna have now won seven of their last eight home games in Serie A, having prevailed in just three of their previous 12.

Orsolini secured it in spectacular fashion with his 12th league goal of the season. The last Italian player to score more goals in a Serie A campaign for I Rossoblu was Alberto Gilardino in 2012-13 (13).

It means Bologna have found the net in 13 consecutive home games in a single Serie A season for the first time since 1942-43 (also 13).
