Inter 2-1 Catania: Retain lead
GALLO/GETTY
Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan beat Catania 2-1 in Italy's Serie A to reclaim the top spot after Sampdoria had defeated Bologna 4-1 earlier in the day to briefly lead the standings.
Sulley Muntari and Wesley Sneijder scored for Inter, who led 2-0 at half-time at the San Siro, despite Giuseppe Mascara scoring a late penalty for Catania.
Sampdoria fired home four first-half goals, Daniele Mannini hitting two and Giampaolo Pazzini and Reto Ziegler adding one each before Paolo Osvaldo picked up a second-half consolation goal for Bologna.
Inter lead the standings with 22 points, two ahead of Sampdoria.
"I think this reflects all the work we do in the week.
"Tonight, we were ready for Catania,'' Inter defender Ivan Cordoba said.
"Matches like this are always difficult and we mustn't forget that. We had to work hard in the second half to take control of the situation.''
