Lautaro Martínez scored in the 91st minute as Inter rallied from two goals down to secure a stunning 3-2 home victory over Napoli, according to the Guardian's roundup of European football. The result extends Inter's unbeaten start to the Serie A season and delivers an early psychological blow in the title race against one of their principal challengers.

The comeback at San Siro was the standout result of the weekend's European fixtures, which also saw Roma pull off a remarkable recovery of their own. The Guardian's report highlighted the drama of Inter's late surge, with Martínez's stoppage-time winner capping a second-half revival that had seemed improbable when Napoli held a two-goal advantage.

For Inter, the victory carries particular significance beyond the three points. Coming against a direct rival, it demonstrates the resilience that underpinned their championship success last season and sends a message to the rest of the league that their title defence will not be easily derailed.
