Joy for Mancini as Inter enter record books

ROBERTO MANCINI etched his name into Inter Milan’s history books yesterday with a record-breaking ninth successive league victory, beating Messina 2-0.

Goals from Marco Materazzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic secured victory as Mancini passed Helenio Herrera and Giovanni Trapattoni’s records of eight successive wins.

Two goals from Alessandro Mancini, one from Francesco Totti and a Giuseppe Biava own goal saw Roma to a 4-0 win over Palermo to keep up the pressure on Inter.
