Serie A round-up: Inter Milan climb to fourth with win over struggling Pescara
Saturday 28 January 2017 22:10, UK
In-form Inter Milan moved up to fourth with a 3-0 success at home to bottom-of-the-table Pescara - their seventh consecutive Serie A victory.
After Lazio missed their chance to keep the pressure on the top three when they lost 1-0 to Chievo at the Stadio Olimpico in Saturday's only other fixture, Inter had little difficulty upholding the form book against their struggling visitors.
Danilo D'Ambrosio put them in front in the 23rd minute at the San Siro, then Joao Mario doubled the lead just before half-time. Substitute Eder completed the scoring in the 73rd minute.
Lazio had earlier dominated the chances against Chievo but could not make it count and were made to pay when Roberto Inglese scored the winner against the run of play in the 90th minute.
Simone Inzaghi's men therefore failed to build on their previous 3-1 home win over Fiorentina and are eight points off the pace set by table-toppers Juventus - while Chievo's battling success took them up to 10th.
