Serie A round-up: Inter celebrate Scudetto as Juve held
Table of Contents
Inter Milan celebrated their fourth successive Scudetto in style as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Siena at the San Siro.
City rivals AC Milan's 2-1 defeat at Udinese on Saturday night ensured Inter would begin the match with the title already won.
Esteban Cambiasso put Inter ahead on the stroke of half-time when Siena failed to clear a Mario Balotelli free-kick adequately and when Gianluca Curci could only parry Dejan Stanković's shot, Cambiasso slotted home the rebound.
Balotelli doubled their advantage early in the second half when he took the ball round Curci before sliding it into the empty net.
Zlatan Ibrahimović then completed the scoring 14 minutes from time as the Nerazzurri supporters continued their celebrations.

Juventus remain in third place in the Serie A standings following a thrilling 2-2 draw against Atalanta in an empty Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta got off to the perfect start when Luca Cigarini's long-range drive deflected off Nicola Legrottaglie and left Gianluigi Buffon wrong-footed.
Legrottaglie almost atoned for his error in the 25th minute but he smashed his effort off the crossbar.
Vincenzo Iaquinta restored parity when he headed home Pavel Nedvěd's cross on 26 minutes.
The hosts almost took the lead two minutes later but Amauri's header came back off the woodwork.
The woodwork came to Juve's aid in the 36th minute when Cristian Zanetti's long-range strike flew in off the underside of the bar.
But Atalanta hit back a minute before half-time through Maximiliano Pellegrino's header.
