Arturo Vidal - Juventus-Roma - Serie A
Inter underlined their Scudetto credentials by coming from behind to defeat Juventus 3-1 in Turin, a win that ended their opponents' 49-game unbeaten run.
The Nerazzurri had found themselves a goal down after just 19 seconds, with Arturo Vidal turning in Kwadwo Asamoah's shot-cum-cross. However, Inter maintained their composure and more than played their part in an absorbing first-half, before taking control of proceedings after the interval.
The visitors deservedly drew level just before the hour mark courtesy of a penalty from Diego Milito and the Argentine struck again with just 15 minutes remaining after following up Fredy Guarin's drive.
Juventus went in search of an equaliser, but they were punished for pouring forward when Rodrigo Palacio stabbed the ball home, to secure a victory which saw Inter reduce the Bianconeri's lead at the summit of Serie A to a solitary point.
The hosts could not have hoped for a better start to such an important fixture, stunning the in-form Nerazzurri with a goal inside the opening 20 seconds.
