Crespo Serie A's most decisive player

Inter on target in 17 consecutive games

Roberto Mancini's team have hit the target in each of their last 17 competitive matches, scoring a total of 36 goals. Inter's last match without scoring was the goalless Serie A draw at Udinese on 22 October 2006.

Inter's last away defeat in September 2006

The Nerazzurri have collected 9 victories and 3 draws on their travels since their last away defeat: Sporting Lisbon 1-0 Inter (Champions League, 12 September 2006).

Inter okay in first match of new year since 2000

Since the turn of the 21st century Inter have never lost their first match of a new year, with 4 wins and 3 draws. The last time the Nerazzurri lost their first fixture of a new year was on 6 January 1999 when they were beaten 1-0 by Parma at the Tardini.

No away goal against Inter for 298 minutes

Roy Makaay's 62nd-minute goal in Bayern Munich 1-1 Inter on 5 December 2006 was the last time the Nerazzurri conceded away from home. Including the remaining 28 minutes of that game plus the entire matches against Empoli (3-0, Serie A; 2-0, Tim Cup) and Lazio (2-0, Serie A), Inter have not let in an away goal for 298 competitive minutes.

Inter unbeaten in 21 games, chasing absolute record for consecutive wins in A

Inter are unbeaten in 21 competitive games, with 18 victories (including 11 wins in a row - a club record under the administration of Moratti) and 3 draws since their last defeat, a 2-0 home loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on 27 September 2006. Roberto Mancini's men have collected 11 consecutive Serie A wins to equal the record held by Luciano Spalletti's Roma who won 11 in a row during the 2005/06 campaign.

Fiore, Rosina & goals in January

According to the stats, Torino pair Fiore and Rosina are prolific in January. Fiore has scored 7 of his 48 league goals in January (same number as in April), while Rosina has scored 4 of his 18 goals in the first calendar month (same number as in December).

Two Toro players prolific against Inter

Torino players Muzzi and Pancaro have good scoring records against Inter. The former has scored 9 of his 152 goals in games against the Nerazzurri, while the latter has scored 3 out of 18 against Inter.

Abbiati poised for 200th professional appearance

Christian Abbiati is set to make his 200th competitive appearance. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who made his debut in Modena 1-0 Monza on 30 December 1994, has played for Monza, AC Milan, Juventus and Torino. He has played 147 times in Serie A, 26 in Serie B and 26 in Serie C1.

TURIN - Adriano scored for the third game running, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Materazzi were also on target as Serie A leaders Inter defeated Torino 3-1 in a gripping Week 19 clash at the Stadio Olimpico to open up a double-figure lead at the top of the table ahead of Sunday afternoon's match between second-placed Roma and Messina in Sicily.

The win sees Mancini's team set a new record of twelve consecutive top-flight victories and extend their long unbeaten run to 22 games.

Adriano, partnering Ibra in attack with Crespo on the bench, combined with his compatriot Maicon on 25 minutes to head in a right-wing cross.

The Nerazzurri had two good chances to increase their lead before the break. Abbiati blocked Vieira's half-volley from a sublime flicked pass by Ibrahimovic, before Adriano missed from six yards after some devastating wing play by Ibra and Maicon.

Torino equalised thirteen minutes after the restart when Fiore's shot from the edge of the box went in off Materazzi with Julio Cesar stranded.

But, as has often happened this season, Inter reacted immediately and were back in front within a matter of minutes when Ibrahimovic latched on to a long-range pass from Stankovic before hooking his eighth of the season into the far corner from an acute angle.

Julio Cesar kept out Stellone's flicked header from De Ascentis' left-wing cross as the Granata came looking for a second equaliser, but after Adriano was twice denied from close range it was Inter who struck again when Materazzi beat substitute keeper Taibi from the penalty spot after Abbiati was shown a straight red for fouling Adriano.
