Ivan Perisic scored in injury time but Inter Milan were held to a 2-2 draw against Parma after former Arsenal man Gervinho’s double.

After a goal-less first half and some missed opportunities for Inter, the away side made a flying start just 20 seconds into the second period as Gervinho got himself in behind the defence and superbly volleyed home Hernani’s ball over the top.

The Ivorian doubled their lead just after the hour mark after again getting behind the Inter defence before slotting home, but the home side immediately reacted through Marcelo Brozovic’s curled strike to half the deficit.
