Defending champions Inter Milan came from 2-0 down for the third Serie A game in a row to earn a 2-2 draw against leaders Roma.
Manu Kone put Roma ahead in the sixth minute before adding a second in the 37th minute after his initial effort was ruled out for offside.
Lautaro Martinez pulled one back for Inter within 30 seconds of the second-half restart before completing the comeback with his second goal in the 79th minute.
Inter looked more likely to find a winner late on, but both sides held firm to share the points and maintain their unbeaten starts after five league games.
Roma made a perfect start when Paulo Dybala’s clipped cross found Nahuel Molina at the back post. His header dropped to Kone, who steered a low finish into the net.
Inter responded and came close to reducing the deficit when Curtis Jones flicked the ball towards Alessandro Bastoni, whose effort clipped the outside of the post.

Kone then doubled Roma’s advantage in the 37th minute with a left-footed shot from the edge of the six-yard box.
The Frenchman had scored only four goals in his previous 66 appearances for Roma but became the fifth player in Serie A history to score twice in the first half for the club against Inter.
Inter needed only 30 seconds after the restart to get back into the game.
Marcus Thuram slipped the ball to Martinez, who guided a left-footed finish into the bottom corner.
Roma nearly restored their two-goal advantage when Donyell Malen found space, but Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez produced a superb close-range save with his head.
Inter continued to push for an equaliser and eventually found it in the 79th minute.
After hitting the bar from a corner, Inter quickly worked the ball back into the area, allowing Martinez to complete his second goal of the night.
Inter had already come from two goals down to beat Napoli and Udinese this season, and their latest comeback preserved their unbeaten start.
The draw leaves Inter second on goal difference, while Roma remain top of the Serie A table.
The result also extended Roma’s difficult recent record against Inter, with the club having won only two of their last 18 meetings against the Milan side.
Fans at the Stadio Olimpico also paid tribute to Sandro Mazzola, the legendary Inter forward who won four Serie A titles and two European Cups with the Nerazzurri, as well as the 1968 European Championship with Italy.
