Inter maintain Serie A lead
Inter Milan remain seven points clear of Juventus at the top of Serie A after both sides recorded away wins this afternoon.
Inter were ahead after just two minutes in their clash with Genoa as Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s early goal set them on the way to a 2-0 win.
Mario Balotelli sealed the win in the 62nd minute, but it came at a price as defenders Marco Materazzi and Nicolas Burdisso both limped off in the first half and are serious doubts for the Champions League trip to Manchester United in midweek.
Juve had to wait until the 80th minute to make the breakthrough in the Turin derby against Torino, Giorgio Chiellini’s header earning them a 1-0 win.
Roma claimed a 1-1 draw at home to Udinese despite playing a man light following the 69th-minute sending off of Daniele De Rossi for a second yellow card.
Felipe opened the scoring for the visitors in the 54th minute, but Mirko Vucinic equalised seven minutes later – just four minutes after coming off the bench.
The draw leaves Roma in fifth, three points behind third-placed AC Milan.
