Inter thrash Bari to go top in the Italian Serie A

Inter Milan scored a resounding 4-0 win over Bari to move to the top spot in the Italian Serie A. Diego Milito scored for the first time this season as he along with Samuel Eto completed a brace to give Inter a convincing victory. Eto’o and Wesley Sneijder went close in the early stages, and the opening goal was due when Inter’s front two combined to devastating effect. Eto’o surged into the penalty area from the left flank and crossed for Milito to head into the top left corner. He himself then scored from the two penalties Inter were awarded before Milito completed the rout.
