Inter Milan tore city rivals AC Milan apart to move to the top of
Serie A thanks to a convincing 4-0 win tonight.
Goals from Thiago Motta, Diego Milito and Maicon gave Inter a 3-0
lead at half-time before Dejan Stankovic added a fourth midway through
the second half.
To round off a miserable night for the Rossoneri, they also lost
Gennaro Gattuso to a red card just before the interval.
Last weekend's results had brought a chink of optimism to Milan
after a lacklustre showing in pre-season.
They came into this derby knowing they could move five points clear
of their rivals with a win and the packed San Siro was expectant
of Leonardo's troops.
But what followed was one of their biggest ever let-downs as they
returned to their pre-season ways and the ignominy of defeat to
their most hated rivals.
