Serie A wrap: Milan, Inter notch first wins

AC Milan and cross-town rivals Inter both recorded their first wins of the Serie A season on Saturday.

Claudio Ranieri made a dream start to life as Inter Milan boss as they struck twice late on in a 3-1 win at Bologna.

Midfielder Esteban Cambiasso set up Giampaolo Pazzini for the opener in the first half, but his goal was cancelled out from the spot by Bologna winger Gaston Ramirez after the break.

Diego Milito and Lucio then tipped the scale in Inter’s favour with strikes in the final 10 minutes of the game to secure the three points.

Bologna defender Archimede Morleo was sent off after dragging down Milito in the area and the Argentine stepped up to convert the penalty in the 81st minute, before Lucio headed home the sealer soon after.

Meanwhile, veteran Clarence Seedorf struck the winner as AC Milan also collected their first three points of the season with a 1-0 victory over bottom-placed Cesena.

The Dutch midfielder opened the scoring in the fifth minute as Massimiliano Allegri’s side moved into eighth.

Elsewhere, Napoli and Fiorentina played out a scoreless draw.
