Serie A: Totti leads Roma over Inter 3-0

Francisco Totti
An inspired Roma side came out victorious against a lackluster Inter side in the latest round of Serie A. Roma captain  Francisco Totti provided the spark as he lead his team with two goals. 

In the 17th minite, Daniele de Rossi's attempted through ball was blocked by Inter's Andrea Rannochia. The rebound however fell to Federico Balzaretti. Balzaretti then set up a series of passes; to Florenzi and then to Gervinho. Gervinho finally found Totti at the center who finding enough space, launched a powerful strike that thundered through the net.   

Totti added another goal through a penalty in the 39th minute after an Alvaro Perreira foul on Gervinho.  Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic went to the correct side but the shot was too fast to stop. 

Roma further buried Inter in the 44th minute when Alessandro Florenzi added another goal from a well orchestrated attack that began with a flick from Daniele de Rossi to Kevin Strootman before the latter squared to Florenzi to complete the play.
