  • Striker’s double rescued a 2-2 draw and extend his unbeaten record against sides coached by Gian Piero Gasperini.
  • The game had finished 2-2, Martínez’s second-half goals cancelling out a pair from Manu Koné.
  • The risks were evident even in the moments leading up to Koné’s sixth-minute opener, with possession swapping rapidly and the Roma centre-back Leonardo Balerdi staying alert to intercept a through-ball from Yann Bisseck for Martínez.
  • In the 68th minute, with the score still 2-1, Donyell Malen brought down a Dybala corner and swivelled to fire a rocket into the face of Inter’s keeper Josep Martínez.

4 sentences from our version of the report, chosen to cover it. Nothing here is written; every line is in the article below. How

Malen might not have scored, but he has six goals already in this Serie A season continuing the prolific form since joining from Aston Villa in January.

Headline check

One of the five things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Nicky Bandini” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

Striker’s double rescued a 2-2 draw and extend his unbeaten record against sides coached by Gian Piero Gasperini.

G ian Piero Gasperini could not keep himself from smiling. His Roma team had just squandered a two-goal lead at home to Inter but as he crossed the Stadio Olimpico pitch to greet the man who had led the visitors’ comeback, his lips formed into a grin.

“He always scores against me”, explained a laughing Gasperini when he was asked what he had said to Lautaro Martínez a short while after.

The game had finished 2-2, Martínez’s second-half goals cancelling out a pair from Manu Koné. Two points dropped for Gasperini’s Giallorossi, yet also one made in the standings and one to their rivals, to their fans, to themselves.

The risks were evident even in the moments leading up to Koné’s sixth-minute opener, with possession swapping rapidly and the Roma centre-back Leonardo Balerdi staying alert to intercept a through-ball from Yann Bisseck for Martínez.

Not long before Koné’s second, Martínez missed an open goal from point-blank range and Alessandro Bastoni hit the post from a narrow angle. Less than a minute into the second half, Martínez released Marcus Thuram down the left and the Argentinian sprinted through the middle to receive the return, finishing into the bottom corner in between three defenders.

In the 68th minute, with the score still 2-1, Donyell Malen brought down a Dybala corner and swivelled to fire a rocket into the face of Inter’s keeper Josep Martínez.
