Kharja sets up title-chasing Inter’s win at Bari
Posted Friday, February 04, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
ROME, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Inter Milan reignited their Serie A title charge thanks to Morocco midfielder Houssine Kharja setting up a 3-0 win at bottom side Bari on Thursday.
The victory lifts the defending champions to seven points behind leaders AC Milan, who drew 0-0 with Lazio on Tuesday, while a game in hand for Leonardo’s men makes the scudetto run-in even more interesting.
Kharja, signed on loan from Genoa last week to boost Inter’s injured ranks, broke the deadlock on 70 minutes when he finished off some good interplay with Samuel Eto’o.
Giampaolo Pazzini and the returning Wesley Sneijder then scored in injury-time to slightly flatter Inter, who could have been down to 10 men at 0-0.
Inter left back Cristian Chivu lashed out at defender Marco Rossi and although the officials did not see the incident, post-match television evidence will probably lead to a ban.
