Inter had to come from behind to see off a spirited Lazio side at the San Siro.<\/p>\n

A sparkling performance from Mauro Zarate was not enough for the Biancocelesti as they fell to a wonderful set-piece from Wesley Sneidjer and some shocking defending allowed Samuel Eto’o to seal the win with an early second half strike.<\/p>\n

The match began brightly as the vivacious Zarate sought an early goal at the San Siro. The Lazio forward dribbled past two defenders but Julio Cesar was equal to his powerful shot as the Argentine fired an early warning sign to the hosts. Just a minute later Eto\u2019o had a shot which curled tantalizingly close to the top right corner as his partnership with Diego Militio looked promising early on.<\/p>\n

However the turning point of the game arrived halfway through the opening 45 minutes. Zarate raced onto a well measured though ball but Cesar\u2019s rash tackle on the former Birmingham striker earned himself a red card. Milito was sacrificed when substitute goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi came on to try and save the penalty. As the \u2018keeper dived despairingly to his right, Zarate simply rolled the penalty centrally in to give the Biancocelesti a 24th minute lead.<\/p>\n

As Zarate continued to harass the Inter defense throughout the Lazio defense stood strong as it nullified forward forays from Maicon and Sneijder with the Dutch man looking particularly frustrated.<\/p>\n

That frustration soon turned to delight as Sneijder\u2019s class prevailed to give Leonardo a much easier team talk at halftime. The Dutchman curled a superb free-kick into the top left corner out of the Uruguayan goalie\u2019s reach in the 40th minute to leave matters level at the interval.<\/p>\n

The second half began in an equally exciting manner with both sides again venturing forward looking to claim the lead. As Zanetti\u2019s hopeful ball was pumped forward in the 53rd minute, Eto\u2019o was lurking when Giuseppe Biava slipped and the ex-Barcelona striker had the simple task of rounding the helpless Muslera before rolling the ball into the empty net to give Leonardo\u2019s team the lead.<\/p>\n

The goal did not give Inter much peace though as the defense was breached again, Lucio just managing to clear a dangerous cross and moments later Dias inexplicably missed a golden opportunity to bring Lazio back onto level terms.<\/p>\n

Lazio was also reduced to 10 men in the 66th minute as Stephano Mauri lashed out stupidly against Nagatomo who had just stolen possession from the striker but this didn\u2019t deter the Biancazzurri from rescuing a point. Brocchi did brilliantly to set up the electric Zarate and the diminutive striker almost equalized but his scissor kicked effort cannoned back off the bar as Inter clung on.<\/p>\n

Maicon could have wrapped up all 3 points late on when the Brazilian right back was found with an accurate long ball from the back. However he delayed too long and Muslera was able to superbly fist away the placed effort behind for a corner.<\/p>\n

The victory for Inter sees it leapfrog Napoli into second place. With only 4 games left to play, Inter has very little time to rein in Milan’s 5 points lead at the summit of Serie A. Lazio remains 4th on 60 points since Udinese also lost 2-0 to Parma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
