Swedish striker steals the show for Mourinho's men

Inter Milan strengthened their grip on top spot in Serie A on Saturday with a 2-0 win at Palermo. Jose Mourinho's side have suffered just one defeat this season and appear well-placed to retain their title. Their weekend victory at Renzo Barbera was their third consecutive success and enables them to maintain a comfortable cushion at the summit. Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovich was the man to steal the headlines, bagging a match-winning brace. The talismanic front-man opened the scoring a minute into the second half, before ending the game as a contest on 62 minutes. While Inter continue to enjoy a smooth progression towards potential glory, Palermo have hit a serious slump. The Sicilian side have won only one of their last six league outings and have now suffered back-to-back defeats.
