Serie A leaders Inter Milan beat Genoa 2-1 on Monday to move 15 points clear of second-placed Juventus as they search for a 20th league title.
Youngster Kristjan Asllani and veteran Alexis Sanchez scored within six minutes of each other in the San Siro as Inter move closer to going one better than local rivals AC Milan and their Scudetto tally, which would get them a second star above their club badge.
Juve trail Inter with 11 games of the season remaining after losing 2-1 at Napoli on Sunday. "15 points is a significant advantage," Asllani said. "But we can't get carried away, there are still a lot of games to play and we have to stay focused," the 21-year-old added.
Simone Inzaghi's Inter were looking to stretch their winning run in all competitions to 12 games, and last lost at home in the league in September.
