It was a great night for Diego Milito as he scored four times, but those were only enough to earn Inter a 4-4 draw at home with Palermo.
It was a snowy night at the San Siro, and it looked like the defenders from both sides took the evening off, as both teams created lots of chances.
The first goal arrived in the 16th minute after both sides had already missed good opportunities. Palermo’s fifth corner of the game crossed the six-yard box with no intervention from an Inter player and Mantovani was alone at the far post to tap the ball in from a yard out.

All the good feelings from the Milan derby win have vanished after Inter Milan were beaten at relegation-threatened Lecce.
Guillermo Giacomazzi scored for Lecce five minutes before half-time and Inter, despite having two goals disallowed, could not find a response, leaving them nine points behind leaders Juventus, who beat Udinese on Saturday.
It was Inter’s second poor performance of the week after they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Napoli on Wednesday.
But they had plenty of chances to take the lead in the first half, Diego Milito firing wide from inside the box after 10 minutes, before Wesley Sneijder brought a good save out of Massimiliano Benassi with a strike from distance moments later.

Claudio Ranieri believes that Inter should have been awarded a penalty in their 2-0 defeat by Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo on Wednesday night.
The Nerazzurri fell behind five minutes into the second half of a spirited Coppa Italia quarter-final clash when Edinson Cavani fired home from 12 yards out, after being upended in the box by Thiago Motta.
Ranieri had no problem with the Uruguayan being awarded the penalty, but he felt that Inter should also have been awarded a spot kick when Diego Milito went down after tangling with Christian Maggio in the area before Cavani sealed victory for the hosts with his injury-time strike.

Diego Milito has voiced his frustration with the referee’s decision not to award him a spot kick in Wednesday’s 2-0 Coppa Italia quarter-final loss away against Napoli.
The Argentine attacker went to the ground inside the area in the 58th minute after a challenge from Napoli’s Christian Maggio, but ref Domenico Celi felt the action did not warrant a penalty, much to the dismay of Milito.
“I knew immediately that it was a definite penalty because I was clearly ahead of my opponent, and because I don’t go to the ground for no reason. I don’t dive,” Milito was quoted as saying on the Inter website.

Inter‘s seven game winning streak came to an end last night against Napoli as they lost 2-0 in their Coppa Italia quarter-final match.
This was a game of two penalties. One that was given, and one that was not.
Napoli went ahead in the 50th minute when Thiago Motta, in possible his last appearance in an Inter shirt, failed to control the ball and then fouled Cavani in his attempt to win it back.
Then seven minutes later the referee inexplicably failed to give Inter a penalty when Maggio clearly held back Milito as he was sent in on goal. A horrible missed call from the referee.

Inter keep marching up the table thanks to a 2-1 win over Lazio – their eighth in a row – in this evening’s 2011/12 Serie A Week 19 clash at the Meazza.
Rocchi struck the post before giving the visitors the lead in the first half but Milito was bang on form again, showing fantastic movement in the build-up and a fine finish to spark Inter’s comeback, completed with Pazzini’s lob over Marchetti.
FIRST HALF
With Thiago Motta suspended, Ranieri played Zanetti and Cambiasso in central midfield with Nagatomo on the right and Alvarez left. Pazzini and Milito formed the front pairing once again. For Lazio, Rocchi got the nod over Cissé to partner Klose in attack.

Really good performance and win by Inter today in the derby. Diego Milito who seems to be regaining his goal scoring form as he capitalized on a mistake by Abate to score in the 54th minute.
Some quick thoughts on tonight’s win:
- Good solid performance by Inter defensively. Other than the shot by Van Bommel that hit the woodwork, Julio Cesar did not have a lot of do.That is four clean sheets out of five games for Inter, a sign that Ranieri’s system is working

“They said Milito and I couldn’t play together? Whenever I’ve been asked in interviews I’ve always said that Diego is a very intelligent player who knows how to make the right movements and it’s easy to play alongside him. It’s brilliant when we both manage to get on the score sheet.”
There were plenty of goals tonight and among the scorers was Giampaolo Pazzini, who went on to talk to Inter Channel about his form:
