Inter cruise as Roma wrack up 1,000 wins

ROME: Inter Milan went nine points clear at the top of Serie A after a stunning 3-0 win at Lazio on Saturday as AS Roma wracked up their 1,000th top flight victory with a 1-0 success at rock-bottom Chievo.

Jose Mourinho's reigning champions are looking unstoppable as headers from Walter Samuel and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a Mobido Diakite own goal gave Inter an easy evening in the capital.

The pressure is now on pursuers AC Milan and Juventus, who play Catania and Lecce respectively on Sunday, not to slip up a week before they meet in a crucial clash at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.
