Inter Milan came from behind to snatch the final Champions League place in their 3-2 winner-takes-all victory at Lazio.
The home side, who only needed to draw, were leading 2-1 at half-time after Adam Marusic and Felipe Anderson had scored either side of a Danilo D’Ambrosio effort.
But the game changed when Stefan de Vrij — who has reportedly agreed a move to Inter for next season — gave away a penalty from which Mauro Icardi levelled.
Senad Lulic was sent off for a second booking shortly afterwards and Matias Vecino headed home from a corner with less than 10 minutes remaining to seal a remarkable win.
There had been drama shortly before Icardi’s equaliser when Inter were awarded a penalty for a push by Marusic, only for the Video Assistant Referee to overturn the decision.
Victory moved Inter level on points with Lazio, who had a significantly better goal difference, but head-to-head records are used in Serie A meaning Luciano Spalletti’s men finished fourth.
