Inter Milan's victory over Genoa has moved them 15 points clear at the top of Serie A.
Cristian Aslani's shot and Alexis Sanchez's penalty gave the hosts a 2-0 lead within 38 minutes after Nicolo Barella was fouled inside the penalty area.
Johan Vázquez pulled one back after half-time, but Inter held on and recorded their ninth consecutive league win.
This result was the 12th in a row in all official games and 15 points ahead of second place Juventus.
Inter have won 23 of their 27 Serie A games this season, with their only defeat coming back in September.
They have not dropped a point since a 1-1 draw against Genoa on December 29th.
