Inter win, Klose salvages Lazio

 　　ROME, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Inter¹ Milan chalked up a crucial 2-0 win over Fiorentina at home on Saturday to lift themselves from Serie A's relegation² zone.

　　Former Fiorentina striker Giampaolo Pazzini scored the opener four minutes before the break, with Yuto Nagatomo adding the second four minutes after the interval³.

　　Inter head coach Claudio Ranieri said his side got back up from fall with the win.

　　The Nerazzurri had lost their last two home games in all competitions before taking on Fiorentina.

　　"Is it a turning point? Let's not talk about that, as I think over the course of the season we've said it so many times that we've worn the phrase out," Ranieri said.

　　"It was a fine performance, as this is a team that gets back up after falling," he concluded.

　　Inter controlled the game from start to finish and wasted good chances to make it an even more impressive win against a negative Fiorentina side who looked a shadow of the team which defeated Roma 3-0 last weekend.

　　"We rarely countered and were too flat in attack in the first half," said Fiorentina head coach Delio Rossi.

　　"We did better in the second half, but conceding⁴ the second goal really knocked the wind out of our sails. We have a lot of work to do and the lads are putting in the effort, but we are aware there's a long way to go," he said.

　　Lecce's decision to part company with Eusebio Di Francesco did not reap⁵ the instant dividends⁶ they would have hoped for as Miroslav Klose's brace⁷ helped title hopefuls Lazio snatch⁸ a late 3-2 victory.

　　Palermo missed the chance to climb to fifth as they went down to a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Cesena, who nevertheless remain inside the relegation zone after only their third win in 14 games this season.

　　Goals from Marco Rossi and Rodrigo Palacio helped Genoa claim their first away win since September at Siena.
