    • - So, Inter climb back to the top of the table, while Roma's preparations for their trip to Stamford Bridge could hardly have gone worse. Thanks for joining us today, see you next time.
    • 90'+3 There it is! All over in Rome and it's a comprehensive 4-0 win to the champions! Impressive stuff indeed!
    • 89' Three minutes of added time to be played.
    • 83' Here comes another change... two-goal Ibra is replaced by Julio Cruz.
    • 78' And off goes Stankovic for Dacourt for Inter.
    • 78' Off goes Perrotta and on comes Brighi as Roma boss Luciano Spalletti looks to rest his key players ahead of Wednesday's Champions Leauge tie against Chelsea.
    • 77' Oooh! Riise fires a free kick goalwards, only to see Julio Cesar turn it round the post!
    • 76' Chivu gets a yellow for a tug on Vucinic... which prompts a few cheers from the home crowd.
    • 75' Roma make another change now... Okaka comes on to replace Taddei.
    • 72' Mancini delivers a ball into the Roma box... Maicon rises to meet it! Off the post! And then Ibra goes wide from the rebound!
    • 69' Mancini comes on to a chorus of boos from his former fans as Quaresma departs... moments later those jeers turn to cheers as Totti heads off. Menez comes on to replace the Roma skipper.
    • 66' Totti stings Julio Cesar's fingers with a crisp shot from the edge of the box... the Brazilian is forced into tipping round the post for a corner!
    • 61' The Roma fans are still supporting their side, despite the terrible scoreline. Proper football fans, that Roma lot. Well, at least when they're not stabbing Manchester United fans in the arse.
    • 57' Three goals in 11 minutes! Incredible burst from Inter... Roma simply have no answer!
    • 56' GOAL! ANOTHER FOR INTER! Obinna fires home from nearly exactly the same spot as Stankovic moments earlier! Only this time the Nigerian finds the other corner! 4-0 now and no way back for Roma!
    • 54' GOAL! Stankovic seals all three points for Inter with an absolute screamer from the edge of the box! He controls the ball on his chest before firing a half-volley in off the inside of the post! The Stadio Olimpico falls silent...
    • 52' Aquilani is teed up on the edge of the Inter box... oooh! Great hit from the Italy international and an equally impressive stop from Julio Cesar to deny Roma a lifeline!
    • 48' Oooh! Roma go close to pulling one back straight away! Cicinho is found by a lovely Perrotta pass... his first time effort is repelled by Julio Cesar! And then Cicinho heads the rebound over the bar!
    • 47' GOAL! Ibrahimovic strikes early in the half for a second time tonight to give Inter a 2-0 lead! Muntari plays him through on goal... he takes his time before slotting past Doni to register his second of the day!
    • 46' Back underway in Rome! No changes to tell you about.
    • 45' There goes the half time whistle and Inter head in a goal to the good thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's early strike.
    • 44' Loria heads over the bar from the resulting corner as Roma press for an equaliser before half-time!
    • 43' Totti somehow manages to volley a deep cross back for Vucinic! Oooh! The striker's header actually bounces off an Inter defender's head and over Julio Cesar's bar!
    • 41' Super play from Roma! Perrotta, Totti and De Rossi combine before the ball finds Taddei at the back stick! But the Brazilian's flying volleyed effort goes well wide...
    • 37' Totti wins a round of applause from the Olimpico faithful for a sliding challenge on Maicon... he'll have to do more than that to get something from this game though.
    • 34' Perrotta has the ball in the back of the net for Roma! But it won't count! The Manchester-born Italy international is just offside as Totti dinks the ball through to him! It won't count!
    • 33' Vucinic is booked for a trip on Muntari... the Montenegrin doesn't like that one too much!
    • 28' Obinna steps outside Cicinho and lets fly! Deflected behind for another Inter corner!
    • 21' Doni now has to dive to his left to deny Quaresma in an almost identical quick break by Inter!
    • 19' Inter break now with Quaresma... but the Portuguese ignores his team-mates and goes for goal himself... it's a poor effort and the chance goes begging.
    • 16' Roma looking to hit back as De Rossi fires on goal! It's wide of the mark but that's got the crowd into it!
    • 14' What a miss from Maicon! He's played in on goal after a neat one-two with Obinna... but he blazes wide as he bears down on goal!
    • 8' Oooh! Nearly a comedy own goal by Juan as the Roma defender completely misjudges a clearance! The ball bounces just wide of Doni's upright!
    • 5' GOAL! Straight down to the other end and Ibrahimovic puts Inter ahead! The Swede hares after a long ball forward... there's no flag... Doni races out and all Ibra has to do is lob him... he does exactly that and Inter have the lead!
    • 4' Decent effort from Riise, who improvises well to let off a shot on target with the outside of his boot. Julio Cesar is well behind it though.
    • 2' The big news is that Francesco Totti plays tonight... and Roma's talismanic striker will provide the hosts' main goal threat.
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at the Stadio Olimpico!
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of tonight's huge Serie A game between Roma and champions Inter!
