Inter Milan recorded only their second Serie A victory of the season after easing past Chievo 1-0 at the San Siro.

Thiago Motta struck a 34th-minute winner as Inter finally gave their fans something to celebrate having failed to win in their previous four home matches in all competitions and having lost four of their six games in Serie A this term.

Inter came into the weekend hoping Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win at Lille would be a turning point in their season, and they were soon on top against Chievo.

Giampaolo Pazzini was denied an early shooting chance by a crucial intervention from Chievo defender Santiago Morero at the expense of a corner, and Mauro Zarate drew a save out of visiting goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino in the 19th minute.

Inter captain Javier Zanetti fired wide in the 24th minute as the hosts continued to push for the opener before Wesley Sneijder saw a long-range effort fizz just inches past the post on the half-hour mark.

The former Real Madrid man swung over a corner and Motta got on the end of it to head home from 10 yards out.

That would prove to be the only goal of the game with neither side able to add to the scoreline in the second half.

Chievo has begun to experience a goal-scoring drought that's soon got to come to an end! Nobody wins games with no goals. They have their chance at home against Bologna on Wednesday of this week. This is a definite chance for a win so let's go Chievo!
FORZA CHIEVO
