Milan: Inter Milan regained the lead in Serie A when goals by Maicon and Samuel Eto'o earned a 2-0 home win over 10-man Juventus on Friday.
Brazilian full back Maicon juggled the ball three times before cracking a spectacular volley into the far corner of the net for the opening goal after 75 minutes.
Eto'o then fired home a mis-hit Sulley Muntari shot in stoppage time to wrap up a victory that will boost Inter's morale ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona.
Champions Inter have 70 points with four games to go, two points more than second-placed AS Roma who need to win Sunday's derby against Lazio to return to the top.
Sixth-placed Juve had Momo Sissoko sent off in the 37th minute as defeat represented another blow to their hopes of finishing fourth to qualify for the Champions League preliminaries.
