Inter battle past Napoli, Roma win again

01 Dec, 2008

Midfielder Sulley Muntari inspired Serie A leaders Inter Milan to a hard-fought 2-1 win at home to Napoli on Sunday. Inconsistent Inter, who beat Juventus last Saturday before losing to Panathinaikos in the Champions League in midweek, went 2-0 up through Ivan Cordoba and Ghana's Muntari but were forced to hang on after Ezequiel Lavezzi pulled one back on 36 minutes.
Jose Mourinho's side have a six-point lead with joint-second AC Milan visiting Palermo in the late game (1930 GMT). Juventus, level with Milan, hammered Reggina 4-0 on Saturday. AS Roma continued their revival after Francesco Totti scored in a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, who wasted several chances at the Stadio Olimpico.
