Inter ended a run of eight Serie A games without a win with a narrow victory over Bologna at San Siro on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri, without top scorer Mauro Icardi, led inside two minutes when Eder converted, but were pegged back by Rodrigo Palacio's equalizer on his return to Milan.
A moment of individual brilliance from impressive 19-year-old Yann Karamoh after the break, however, was enough to secure three points and see Luciano Spalletti's side climb to third above Lazio.
Inter were ahead within two minutes, immediately relieving some of the pressure. Marcelo Brozovic's ball across goal was met by Eder, who guided the ball into the far corner to put his side in front.
