Inter routs Roma to go top
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 10 - 2008

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho each scored twice Sunday in Serie A wins for Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Inter beat AS Roma 4-0 Sunday to move two points clear atop the Serie A standings, and Milan defeated 10-man Sampdoria 3-0.
Inter improved to 16 points, two ahead of Udinese, Catania and Napoli. Milan is in a four-way tie with 13 points, and Roma has seven.
With Christian Panucci and Philippe Mexes both suspended, Roma's makeshift central defensive pair of Simone Loria and Juan struggled to contain Ibrahimovic, who scored at the beginning of each half.
Dejan Stankovic and surprise starter Victor Obinna added goals for Inter in the 54th and 56th minutes at the Stadio Olimpico.
Milan had a man advantage from the 55th minute after Sampdoria defender Stefano Lucchini received a second yellow card for a handball inside the area. Ronaldinho converted the penalty and added another goal in the 66th on a give-and-go with Brazil teammate Kaka.
With the entry of Kaka at the start of the second half, Milan became more aggressive and began to take control of the game even before Sampdoria was reduced to 10 men. Filippo Inzaghi scored his first goal of the season in the 90th to make it 3-0.
Bologna, which had lost five straight after winning its first game of the season, stunned Lazio 3-1 with two goals from Marco Di Vaio. Bologna had scored only three goals in its first six games, but collected three in 26 minutes against Lazio, the co-league leaders coming into the weekend games.
In the Sicilian derby, Catania defeated visiting Palermo 2-0 with two second-half goals.
Cagliari needed a goal in the 88th from Robert Acquafresca to defeat Torino for its first victory of the new season.
Also Sunday, Chievo Verona drew 1-1 with Atalanta; Genoa beat Siena 1-0; and Lecce drew 2-2 with Udinese.
Hull wins, Spurs lose
Michael Turner scored with a header to take Hull back up to third in the Premier League on Sunday after a 1-0 victory over West Ham, and Tottenham lost 2-1 at Stoke to stay in last place.
Turner rose to power home Andy Dawson's corner in the 51st minute to give the Tigers their fifth victory. Hull is again among the traditional leading four of English football in its first season in the top flight.
Hull trails Chelsea and Liverpool, but is above fourth-place Arsenal and No. 5 Manchester United.
Chelsea won 5-0 at Middlesbrough on Saturday, when Liverbeat Wigan 3-2. The Blues and the Reds are level on 20 points from eight games and Hull has 17. Arsenal, which rallied from a goal down to beat Everton 3-1 Saturday, has 16 points and Man United, which outplayed West Bromwich Albion 4-0, has 14 points with a game in hand.
