Inter Milan returned to the top of the Serie A table, at least
temporarily, thanks to a comfortable victory over relegation-threatened
Atalanta.
Atalanta stunned their illustrious hosts when they took the lead
with less than five minutes on the clock but, just as they had done
midweek against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League
semi-final, Inter hit back with three goals.
After a dire opening five minutes, Inter began to get back into
the game and top scorer Diego Milito levelled before McDonald Mariga
gave them the lead with his first Nerazzurri goal 10 minutes from
the break, however, the goal was later credited to Sulley Muntari.
Cristian Chivu also scored his first goal for the club to wrap
up the points for Inter in the 78th minute and send them back to
the head of the standings - two points clear of Roma, who host Sampdoria
tomorrow.
