Thiago Motta scores the third headed goal of the match to give Inter Milan a 3-1 lead against Napoli. The goal also marks the third goal off a corner kick in a match that’s starting to have way too much of a whiff of deja vu around it. To take matters even further back into the future, it was Andrea Dossena, whose offside error cost Napoli an equalizer in the first ten minutes, who failed to adequately mark Motta and allowed the header to fly in.
Inter Milan Vs. Napoli: Inter’s Lead Announce Their Return To The Title Race
While Napoli have, in fact, come back from leads more depressing than this one (the partenopei were behind by three goals in the Europa League and came back to draw the match) it seems unlikely that such a feat can be accomplished against this revitalized Inter side. Walter Mazzarri pulled Walter Gargano in favor of Hassan Yebda to give his side more power in attack, but it just might be too little, too late, even for a club making “Napoli time” famous.
