Giampaolo Pazzini scored Inter Milan's winner against his former side as the defending champions won 2-1 at Fiorentina Wednesday in a Serie A game rescheduled from December.
The European champions, who played and won the Club World Cup in late 2010, moved into third place - five points behind leaders AC Milan with 13 games left to the end of the season.
Young defender Michele Camporese got the hosts into trouble within six minutes from the start with an unlucky deflection off a low cross from Samuel Eto'o past Polish custodian Artur Boruc.
Romanian striker Adrian Mutu triggered the Purples' brisk reaction with a free kick and a tight-angle shot as Inter switched to merely defensive tactics.
Reward for the unrelenting pressure came on 33 minutes when a cross from the left by Manuel Pasqual bounced against the far post and into the net.
The Nerazzurri came out the changing rooms looking for a win and again took the lead with Pazzini on 61 minutes off a low feed by Eto'o.
Beside putting pressure on Milan, the win boosted Inter's morale after a poor showing in a 1-0 defeat suffered at Juventus at the weekend.
Also on Wednesday, Genoa beat Sampdoria 1-0 with a second-half goal from Brazilian Rafinha in a city derby that was snowed out in December.
