Zlatan Ibrahimovic clashed with his own fans after putting Inter on the verge of clinching the Serie A title with a 2-0 home win over Lazio last night.

The champions had gone three matches without a win but with four games left they now hold a 10-point lead over second-placed Milan, who visit Catania this afternoon.

Striker Ibrahimovic, pondering his future at the club, broke the deadlock after 58 minutes and then put his finger to his mouth to tell Inter fans to be quiet after sections of the San Siro had heckled him moments earlier.

The Swede then produced a superb pass for Sulley Muntari to blast home midway through the second period.

Earlier, Reggina defender Andrea Costa walked away after swallowing his tongue in his side's 2-1 win at fellow strugglers Bologna.

Costa recovered quickly but was substituted and taken to hospital after losing consciousness in a collision in the second half and needing a physio to pull his tongue out of his throat.

Joint-bottom Reggina boosted their hopes of an unlikely escape from relegation with a battling victory.

Franco Brienza scored with their first attempt on 40 minutes when he beat the offside trap and rifled home before Edgar Barreto doubled the lead just after half-time when he chested down and fired in off the bar from 30 metres.

The club from the southern city of Reggio Calabria looked doomed just a few weeks ago but have taken seven points from their last three games to lie three behind fourth-bottom Torino, who visit Fiorentina today.

Third-bottom Bologna, who hit the bar twice before Vangelis Moras netted late on, remain a point from safety with four games left while Lecce are level with Reggina before today's trip to Juventus.
