Inter rolled out 3-0 winners in Bari tonight, although as strange as it is to suggest after a 3-0 win it was far from convincing. It took a tactical change and the introduction of Wes Sneijder to inspire Inter towards their first goal from Houssine Kharja after a smart one two with Eto'o, while Pazzini added to the total in injury time before Sneijder himself got on the scoresheet, hit first Serie A goal this season. It was three points for Inter, and two more than arch rivals AC Milan achieved against Lazio on Tuesday night in a top of the table clash. Lazio arrived at the San Siro in highly organised fashion and gave Milan virtually nothing for 90 minutes, although the ten minutes after half time were highly uncomfortable for the Rome outfit and they just avoid defeat after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's superb strike cannoned off both posts. Milan still sit seven points clear of Inter, but the nerazzurri have a crucial game in hand away at Fiorentina where they will have the chance to close the gap.
As both Milan and Lazio dropped points, so did Roma and Napoli. Roma could surprisingly only manage a draw at home to lowly Brescia while Napoli fell to pieces in Verona, going down 2-0 to Chievo. If it was bad for them, then it was worse for Juve as there season descended into free fall after another defeat, this time against the excellent Palermo and Javier Pastore who played a crucial role in locking the Juve back line.
Elsewhere Sinisa Mihajlovic may have just saved his job with a 1-0 win over Genoa thanks to a Mario Santana goal, while Udinese were halted at home by Bologna with Marco Di Vaio on target for the away side again. Lecce also racked up an impressive win to continue their unbeaten start to 2011 with a 1-0 win at Parma at the death. Finally, Cesena picked up another valuable point at home to Catania.
