• Dzeko extends Inter’s lead at the top of Serie A
• Haaland scores in 3-2 win at Hoffenheim but is taken off injured

A last-gasp header from Edin Dzeko earned Serie A leaders Internazionale a dramatic 2-1 win over Venezia on Saturday, as Simone Inzaghi’s side moved five points clear at the top of the table.

The hosts were poor in the opening stages, with Venezia, who were without numerous first-team players after a Covid-19 outbreak in the squad this week, racing into a shock lead through French forward Thomas Henry in the 19th minute.
