Roma climbed to third in the Serie A table as goals from Edin Dzeko and Kostas Manolas secured a 2-1 victory over Inter at Stadio Olimpico.
Manolas' first goal of the season, via a deflection off Mauro Icardi, was enough to seal all three points for Luciano Spalletti's side, moving them level with Lazio, AC Milan and Chievo on 13 points.
The Giallorossi flew out of the blocks on Sunday as Dzeko converted a Bruno Peres cross to claim his fifth goal of the season after just five minutes.
Both sides struck the woodwork during a thrilling first half and Inter could count themselves a touch unfortunate to have suffered what was their first defeat since the opening day of the season.
Ever Banega had levelled for the visitors as they raised their game in the second half, but Manolas' header from Alessandro Florenzi's free-kick ensured all three points for the hosts.
A fourth successive home league win sees Roma climb to within five of leaders Juventus, while Frank de Boer's side head into the international break in ninth place.
