Inter Milan have returned to second spot in the Serie A table thanks to a 2-1 win over Napoli at the San Siro.

The home side took the lead with just eight minutes on the clock as Fredy Guarin volleyed in at the back post from Antonio Cassano's cross.

Guarin played his part in Inter's second minutes before half time when he set up Diego Milito to fire in.

The hosts had the woodwork to blame for keeping the score at 2-0 early in the second half when Cassano's effort came back off the post.

Napoli cut the deficit on 54 minutes through Edinson Cavani's scrappy strike, but they were unable to find an equaliser.
