Diego Milito scored a goal and created another to help Inter Milan beat Bologna 3-1 in the Serie A on Saturday. The Argentinean in-form frontman opened the scoring after 22 minutes when he fired home from close range after a headed pass from Thiago Motta. Bologna frontman Marcelo Zalayeta equalized just one minute later, superbly ghosting behind two defenders to control a long ball inside the area and slot home. Mario Balotelli restored Inter's advantage three minutes before the break after heading in a corner and Esteban Cambiasso made sure of the victory on 72 minutes after being set up by Milito. The Nerazzurri's right-back Maicon was sent off in stoppage time for dissent. Defending champions Inter, who eye a fifth consecutive league title, extended their lead at the top to eight points. Second-placed Juventus can cut the deficit back down to five if they beat Udinese on Sunday. The match's highlights
