Rome (ANTARA News/Reuters) - A Luca Toni goal gave AS Roma a thrilling 2-1 home win over Inter Milan on Saturday that took them within a point of the Serie A leaders and kept the three-way title race wide open approaching the final stretch.
The striker controlled a mis-hit Rodrigo Taddei shot and fired home in the 72nd minute as the hosts continued their remarkable recovery from the disarray they found themselves in at the start of the season.
Inter`s Diego Milito had equalised just six minutes earlier with a goal that looked offside, after Roma`s Daniele De Rossi opened the scoring in the 17th by capitalising on a blunder by goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
Champions Inter hit the woodwork three times, the last occasion from Milito deep in stoppage time. Third-placed AC Milan can pull level with Roma on 62 points with seven games to go if they overcome injuries, suspensions and poor form to beat Lazio on Sunday (1845 GMT).
"This is a great, beautiful night," Toni told Sky television. "We`ve been chasing for a while.
"It was important to win tonight to try to realise a dream. Now we`re a point away we`ll see what happens." (Uu.A016/T009/P003)
