Shortly before the interval, Calhanoglu unleashed a spectacular long-range strike to restore Inter’s lead.
In the second half, Martinez made it 3-1 in the 52nd minute after a precise pass from Thuram, then Thuram added a fourth from a corner in the 55th. Barella wrapped up the scoring with a rebound in the 63rd, while Roma pulled one back in the 70th through Lorenzo Pellegrini.
Inter finished the night on 72 points at the top, with Roma on 54 in sixth place.
