INTER CRUISE TO LAZIO WIN

Inter Milan are within touching distance of a fourth straight Serie A title after beating Lazio 2-0 at the San Siro.

Second-half goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sulley Muntari have left the Nerazzurri 10 points clear at the top of the table, and they can secure the Scudetto with victory over Chievo next weekend if AC Milan fail to take maximum points from their games against Catania on Sunday and Juventus next week.

At the other end of the table, Reggina still have hopes of staying up after securing a crucial 2-1 victory away to relegation rivals Bologna.

The hosts dominated most of the game but were felled by two goals on the counter-attack by Franco Brienza and Edgar Barreto either side of half-time.

Vaggelis Moras reduced the deficit three minutes from full time to set up a tense finale but Reggina clung on to take all three points.

It was Reggina's second victory in 21 games and their third without defeat and sees them move level on points with Lecce who travel to Juventus tomorrow knowing that defeat would see them drop to the bottom of the standings.

Bologna have two points more and remain a point off safety ahead of the rest of the Serie A fixtures on Sunday.
