Roberto Mancini claimed his first home win in
Serie A since returning to Inter as they beat
Genoa 3-1 on Sunday.
The 50-year-old head coach had only taken one
point in his previous two home fixtures, but goals
from Rodrigo Palacio, Mauro Icardi and Nemanja
Vidic finally gave him all three points at San Siro.
Palacio opened the scoring early with a poacher's
finish after Icardi's effort had been saved, with
the latter heading in the second just before the
break.
Armando Izzo got the visitors back into the game
with five minutes remaining, the defender firing
home from close range, but Vidic's first goal for
Inter sealed the points for the hosts.
Inter's first home win since October moves them
to within two points of their opponents and fifth-
placed Sampdoria.
Mancini, who gave Lukas Podolski his full
debut as one of four changes, saw his side
threaten inside the opening two minutes as Fredy
Guarin played a throughball for Icardi.
