Match ends, Roma 2, Inter Milan 1.
Roma moved up to third in Serie A as goals from Edin Dzeko and Kostas Manolas secured victory over Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.
Dzeko turned in Bruno Peres' cross from close range to give the hosts the lead after only five minutes.
Ever Banega equalised for Frank de Boer's side in the 72nd minute with a calm finish after Mauro Icardi's pass caught out the Roma defence.
Manolas restored Roma's lead soon after as his header deflected in off Icardi.
Inter pressed for a late equaliser but Dzeko nearly grabbed a second late on, only to be denied by Samir Handanovic's stunning save.
It was the fourth straight home win for Luciano Spalletti's side as they stayed within five points of leaders Juventus, who won 3-0 at Empoli, while Inter fall to ninth.
