Joy unconfined on the blue and black side of Milan (and in the Hampshire house where your correspondent resides) as Jose Mourinho's Inter swept past their local rivals in one of the most one-sided Milan derbies of recent years. With Gennaro Gattuso getting himself sent off, the rossoneri folded, as Thiago Motta and Maicon capped off fine team moves with good finishes in the first half either side of Diego Milito's penalty. In the second half, Dejan Stankovic put the cherry on top with a wonderful long-range strike to highlight not only Inter's dominance but the tremendous task Leonardo faces in getting his Milan team in shape for any kind of title challenge.
It is Sampdoria who top the table, however, collecting their second straight win with an easy victory over Udinese. Giampaolo Pazzini, Daniele Mannini and Antonio Cassano all got on the scoresheet, with only Di Natale's solitary response for the visitors. Juventus, who wrapped up the signing of Fabio Grosso from Lyon on Monday, are second after beating Roma at the Olimpico. Brazilian Diego looks like an inspired acquisition, as he scored twice and compatriot Felipe Melo sealed the win after Daniele De Rossi had temporarily drawn Roma level in the first stanza. Genoa are third after former Valencia left-back Emiliano Moretti scored his first Serie A goal in seven years to squeeze past an obdurate Atalanta side. Lazio went behind at Chievo to a Sergio Pellissier strike, but Julio Cruz, still dangerous at 34, scored twice either side of half time to put his side 4th in the table.
Elsewhere Napoli cruised past Livorno, with Fabio Quagliarella scoring twice; an Albert Paloschi goal, his second in a week, was enough for Parma to beat Catania; Stevano Jovetic highlighted his burgeoning reputation with the winner for Fiorentina against Palermo at the Artemio Franchi; and Siena pulled off something of a surprise by beating Cagliari in Sardinia, thanks to two goals from Emanuele Calaio.
