Juve Beat Inter To Go Top With Nine Points Clear

Juventus put three goals past a poor Inter Milan side to win the Derby D’Italia and tighten their grip on another tittle.

Right-back Stephan Lichsteiner opened the scoring with a diving header from Andrea Pirlo’s inch-perfect pass.

Giorgio Chielliniade Inter pay for a big miss from Rodriguez Palacio with Juve’s second goal two minutes into the second half before Arturo Vidal wrapped up the points with the third.

Juve took their foot off the pedal after the third and Rolando grabbed a consolation for Inter, but it was too little, too late for Walter Mazzarri’s side.

New signing from Southampton, Dani Osvaldo loked from the stands as the Old Lady bid to move even further away from second-placed Roma at the top of Serie A.
