A DIEGO Milito double helped Inter Milan rout Parma 5-0 on Saturday, making it five wins in five Serie A games to close within a point of fourth-placed Lazio which lost 0-4 at Siena.
In a one-sided game at the San Siro, Argentine striker Milito tucked in Ricky Alvarez's cross after 13 minutes before Thiago Motta drilled in a second goal from distance. Milito headed home Maicon's center in the 41st minute and Giampaolo Pazzini (56) and Marco Faraoni (79) finished off Parma.
Inter, which plays city rival AC Milan next weekend, stays fifth with 29 points from 17 games while Parma remains 13th.
"It was important to have a good first period because Parma tend to start well with their three attackers," Inter coach Claudio Ranieri said.
"My players are not finished. We know we've got out of a precarious position with these five wins but we need to fly if we are going to catch those above. I'm not saying how high we can go."
Inter began confidently and took the lead when Milito cleverly flicked the ball in at the near post. Strike partner Pazzini teed up with Motta to double the home team's advantage with a skidding drive.
