Samuel Eto'o scored an early goal to give Inter Milan a 1-0 win at home to Lazio Sunday and extend its Serie A lead to eight points going into the winter break. Eto'o struck in the 14th minute after meeting Dejan Stankovic's cross from the right. The Cameroon striker's header was stopped by Muslera, but Eto'o reacted quickest to score his eighth goal of the season. Inter leads the standings with 39 points, while AC Milan is second on 31 and Juventus third with 30. Milan has a game in hand following the postponement of its match with Fiorentina Saturday. Juventus continued its recent struggles with a 2-1 loss at home to Catania for its third defeat in a row, missing out on the chance to move into second place in Serie A. Nicolas Burdisso and Matteo Brighi scored second-half goals to give AS Roma a 2-0 win at home to Parma. The result moves Roma into the fourth Champions League place on 28 points. Also Sunday it was; Livorno 3, Sampdoria 1; Napoli 2, Chievo Verona 0; and Palermo 1, Siena 0. Two matches were called off because of the heavy snow, with Genoa vs. Bari and Udinese vs. Cagliari to be played later.
