Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with victory at Bologna yesterday.

Bologna managed to cancel out Esteban Cambiasso's opener with Miguel Angel Britos, but a free kick from Mario Balotelli sealed a 2-1 result.

"These three points give me particular satisfaction because we earned them against a gritty Bologna side," said Mourinho.

"There are still 30 points up for grabs, it is too early to declare the title race over. We only prepared for this game and the only thing we did with the Manchester United match in mind was train on defending set pieces."
