Lukas Podolski came off the bench to assist Mauro Icardi's winner

Inter Milan enhanced their Europa League hopes by beating third-placed Roma.

Hernanes gave Inter the lead with a shot from the edge of the area and Roma's Víctor Ibarbo hit the post with a volley before Radja Nainggolan struck a fantastic first-time effort to level.

But Mauro Icardi scored a late winner after being picked out by Arsenal loanee Lukas Podolski.

Inter are up to seventh, overtaking AC Milan, who lost 2-1 to Udinese.

Giampiero Pinzi scored for Udinese with a low shot and Emmanuel Badu tapped home Guilherme's cross.

Giampaolo Pazzini scored a late consolation goal for Milan, who drop to 10th.

Roberto Mancini's Inter are now just four points from sixth-spot and a place in the Europa League qualifiers.

The result places some doubt on whether Roma will secure third position and with it, a Champions League play-off place. They are now only five points above fourth-placed Napoli, who have a game in hand.
