MILAN - Inter cruised to victory over Lazio at the Meazza and remain three points clear of Roma, winners against Cagliari in tonight's other rescheduled Serie A Week 12 clash.

Ibrahimovic opened the scoring midway through the first half, Maicon adding a second on 33 minutes before Suazo wrapped up an easy win after the interval.

Roberto Mancini made several changes to the team that beat Fiorentina at the weekend, handing starts to Burdisso, Maxwell and Portuguese youngster Pelé, with Suazo partnering Ibrahimovic up front.

The Nerazzurri were rarely troubled by Delio Rossi's men and took the lead on 22 minutes when Ibra blasted into the top corner from the penalty spot after a foul by Stendardo on Burdisso.

Suazo thought he had added to the lead ten minutes later but was flagged offside after stealing in to bury a loose ball following Ballotta's parry from Pelé.

Inter doubled their advantage within sixty seconds of the Honduran's disallowed goal, Maicon powering into the six-yard box to slot in Jimenez' inswinging corner.

The in-form Chilean went close to a third with a blistering low shot on 52 minutes, but Ballotta saved with his legs.

David Suazo killed off the game three minutes later, meeting Cambiasso's inch-perfect ball over the Biancocelesti rearguard before coolly sliding past the keeper.

Inter had a second goal disallowed in added time. Samuel fired home after being played in by Burdisso, only for the flag to go up for offside.
