Zlatan saves the day for Inter

Zlatan saves the day for Inter

20 January 2008 - 23:20

Inter look to be heading towards their third successive Serie A championship after Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed why many believe he is one of the best in the world, saving a late 2 goal salvo to give Inter Milan a 3-2 win over Parma.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Man Utd serious about signing Rafael Leao
  • Esteban Cambiasso had put the league leaders on the way to a seemingly routine victory, but Parma had other ideas as Luca Cigarini levelled four minutes before half-time and Gasbarroni put the visitors in front.



    But Parma, who had Fernando Couto sent off for giving away the penalty from which Ibrahimovic made it 2-2, could not hold out as the Nerazzurri moved seven points clear of nearest challengers Roma.



    Ibrahimovic himself stepped up to coolly equalise from the spot before, deep into stoppage time, he punished slack marking in the Parma defence to slot home a dramatic winner from close range.



    And things went from bad to worse for Parma when coach Domenico Di Carlo was sent off for dissent at the final whistle as he fumed at the penalty decision.
