体坛英语新闻：Inter beat Bari to lead in Serie A

ROME, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Diego Milito broke his goal drought on Wednesday to help Inter Milan thrash Bari 4-0, while Roma slipped into the relegation zone as they were beaten 2-1 by Brescia.

Milito was on target for the first time this season as he and Samuel Eto'o hit doubles in Inters crushing win.

Eto'o surged into the penalty area from the left flank and crossed for Milito to head into the top left corner for the first in the 27th minute, and the second goal arrived in the 50th minute when Marco Rossi's handball from Wesley Sneijder's cross gave Inter a penalty, which Eto'o rifled into the right corner.

Eto'o hit the back of the Bari net again after 63 minutes, again from the 12-yard mark, after Lucio was pulled down by Emmanuel Rivas for a clear penalty and Dejan Stankovic's superb pass found Milito who thumped a fierce shot past goalkeeper Jean-Francois Gillet late on.

Rafa Benitez, coach of Inter, did not believe Inter are already running away with the Scudetto and hailed Diego Milito.

"It's not a breakaway run. The season is long and we are just at the start, but of course it is always nice to be on top," he said.

"Milito was already working very well for the team, but the only difference this time from the other games is that the ball hit the back of the net," he said.

Cesena, joint leaders with Inter coming into the fourth round, suffered their season-first loss after they were beaten 2-0 at Catania. Cesena lost their first Serie A game of the season as they crashed down to Catania in Sicily. Matias Silvestre was on target for the hosts in the 23rd minute before Maxi Lopez doubled the advantage in the 58th minute.
