体坛英语资讯：Inter Milan up to 3rd in Serie A following Bari win

Inter Milan moved up to third in the Serie A following a 3-0 win over Bari on Thursday.

The result marked the sixth win from seven league games for Inter under new boss Leonardo and, after an indifferent start to the season, the defending champions are just seven points behind league leaders AC Milan with a game in hand.

Inter would have been expecting a victory against lowly Bari, but had to wait until the 70th minute to break the deadlock, when Moroccan midfielder Houssine Kharja played a neat one-two with Samuel Eto'o before beating Bari goalkeeper Jean Francis Gillet with a low shot from an acute angle.

That was where the scoreline stayed until the fourth minute of injury time when a through ball from Thiago Motta played Giampaolo Pazzini into space and the striker cut inside his marker before firing a low shot past Gillet.

A minute later it was 3-0 when a Javier Zanetti cross was chested down by Thiago Motta into the path of Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder who blasted home from close range with the last kick of the game.
