Napoli's clinical destruction of hamstrung Inter shows their Scudetto charge is more than just a dream

Walter Mazzarri's men made the most of the situation presented to them with a superbly professional attitude, the likes of which they have not often delivered in their 17 years of winless visits to the city of Milan. And it now throws them amongst the favourites to win the title for the first time in 22 years.
It was the man in the middle who took centre stage in the first half though, and how! Rocchi took only 10 minutes to book Joel Obi for what seemed a perfectly clean tackle on Ezequiel Lavezzi, and by half-time he was to compound the Nigerian's misery. Retreating to deal with a typical Christian Maggio run, the Nerazzurro pushed his opponent to the ground from just outside the box. Maggio's stumble as he tried to keep his feet saw him go through the area and over the byeline. Rocchi wrongly pointed to the spot and flashed a red card. Inter were furious.
