Internazionale went top of Serie A after Wesley Sneijder netted in the third minute of added time in a 2-1 win over Udinese at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Inter boss Jose Mourinho was starring down the barrel of a third successive game without a win after Antonio Di Natale had quickly cancelled out Dejan Stanovic's 22nd minute opener.

But Sneijder, a summer signing from Real Madrid, popped up late on to hand Inter all three points - and prompt a pitchside jig of delight from the otherwise sullen Mourinho, who finally afforded a smile.

Stankovic, who had earlier sustained a blow to his back in an aerial challenge, ignored his apparent pain to break the deadlock with a fine first-time drive into the top corner on the overlap from Samuel Eto'o pass.

But Inter's lead was to last just five minutes as Di Natale, who topped the Serie A scoring charts before kick-off, was put through on goal after a lovely turn from Gokhan Inler.

For a striker in such a rich vein of form, the finish was elementary. At least he made it appear so. It was the Italy international's ninth goal of a highly fruitful campaign so far.

He could - perhaps should - have added a 10th as twice he found himself in scoring positions, yet twice his radar proved uncharacteristically out of synch, most crucially in the final minute when he fired tamely at Julio Cesar after having been played in on goal by Simone Pepe's through pass.
