Pato opened the scoring in the first
minute with a tap-in before Cristian Chivu blew off his sides’ chances of a
comeback on 53 minutes when he was sent off for tripping Milan’s goalscorer.


Pato wrapped the win on 62 minutes when
he headed a pass from Ignazio Abate. Substitute Antonio Cassano completed the
rout on 89 minutes when he converted a penalty he won himself before receiving
his marching orders in the 92 minute for a second-yellow card.


Inter’s best chance came in the 38th
minute when Wesley Sneijder delivered an inviting corner which was met by the
head of Thiago Motta on the six-yard line. It looked as if an equalizer was
inevitable only for Abbiati to somehow claw the ball to safety off the line, a
wonderful save celebrated by the keeper as if he had just scored the winning
goal.


The result sees Milan increase their
lead over Inter at the summit of Serie A to five points with only seven games to
go.
