Inter on target in 18 consecutive league games

Inter last failed to score in a Serie A fixture on 29 October 2008 when Mourinho's team were held 0-0 by... Sunday evening's opponents Fiorentina in Florence. Inter have since played 18 top-flight games, scoring a total of 36 goals.

Inter's home invincibility, scoring form

Inter have lost just one of their last 35 league fixtures at home (Inter 1-2 Juventus on 22 March 2008), winning 27 and drawing 7 of the other 34. The Nerazzurri have failed to score in only one of their last 70 league games at home (Inter 0-0 Genoa on 26 October 2008), scoring 151 goals in the other 69 matches.

Sixteen Nerazzurri on target this term

Sixteen different Inter players have scored Serie A goals this season -more than any other team. In alphabetical order, they are: Adriano, Balotelli, Burdisso, Cambiasso, Cordoba, Crespo, Cruz, Figo, Ibrahimovic, Maicon, Maxwell, Muntari, Obinna, Samuel, Stankovic and Vieira.

Ibra's decisiveness

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the most decisive player in the 2008/09 Serie A championship after 27 rounds of matches - the Swedish forward's goals have earned Inter 20 of their 63 points.

Two players on milestones

Esteban Cambiasso will make his 200th appearance for the Nerazzurri if he is selected to play against Fiorentina, while Maxwell is set for his 100th outing in black and blue. The Argentine midfielder, who made his Inter debut in the 1-1 UCL qualifying round draw away to Basel on 11 August 2004, has played 142 times in Serie A, 14 in Coppa Italia, 4 in the Italian Super Cup and 39 in European competitions. The Brazilian, meanwhile, has played for Inter 74 times in the league, 11 in the Coppa Italia, once in the Italian Super Cup and 13 in Europe. His debut came in a 1-0 away win over Roma on 20 September 2006.

One Viola clean sheet in last 12 outings

Fiorentina have kept only one clean sheet in their last twelve competitive fixtures (Lazio 0-1 Fiorentina in Serie A on 8 February 2009), conceding 15 goals in the other 11 games.

MILAN - Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored at the start of the first half and at the end of a dramatic finale as Inter brushed aside Fiorentina to keep intact their seven-point lead at the top of the Serie A table.

The Swedish forward headed in the opening goal in the 11th minute, bringing the house down with a superb free kick in time added on to make it 20 goals in all competitions this season.

Cristian Chivu returned from injury and Sulley Muntari was back alongside milestone men Zanetti (joining Facchetti on 634 appearances for Inter) and Cambiasso (200th in black and blue) in midfield as Mourinho made two changes to the side that lost to Manchester United in midweek.

Fiorentina coach Prandelli, without a win in his last seven visits to Inter, named a 4-1-3-2 formation with captain Jorgensen in a sweeper role and Felipe behind strike partners Mutu and Gilardino.

The match kicked off after a spectacular show of solidarity from the Curva Nord and Inter got an all-important early goal after Mutu had a shot blocked by Julio Cesar. Mario Balotelli swung in a free kick from the left and Frey blocked with his fists but failed to clear. Ibrahimovic was first to the loose ball and headed in his 16th league goal of the season.

Dejan Stankovic sent a low shot inches wide of Frey's left-hand post as the Nerazzurri went close again before the visitors created three good chances for an equaliser before half time.

Julio Cesar made a comfortable save from Felipe's header on the half hour, making a trickier tipped parry from Gilardino's flicked shot in the 40th. On the stroke of half time Jorgensen fired inches over after Samuel's clearance from Mutu's cross.

Mourinho made a forced change at half time, bringing on Luis Figo for the injured Chivu and fielding Cambiasso alongside Samuel in defence.

Fiorentina began the second period as they ended the first, but so did Julio Cesar who made another splendid tipped save from Montolivo's long-range effort.

Inter survived a further scare when Mutu slid his diagonal shot wide with the goal gaping, and Julio Cesar had more work to do when he took the sting out of substitute Donadel's powerful 25-yard strike. 

In the final minute eighteen-year-old sensation Davide Santon gave the crowd a sign of things to come with a surging run down the left and a shot - saved by Frey - after a defence-splitting one-two with Ibrahimovic.

Mourinho was dismissed for protests in time added on, and with the fans chanting José Mourinho la la la in support of the Portuguese, Ibrahimovic saved his best for last, sending an unstoppable free kick in off the underside of the crossbar.
