Materazzi headbutted again as Inter extend winning run
Inter Milan maintained their 11-point lead at the top of Serie A and extended their record run of consecutive league wins to 14 matches with a 2-0 victory at 10-man Sampdoria.
But the game was marred by Inter's Italian international defender Marco Materazzi once again being the victim of a headbutt.
Materazzi was the man infamously butted by French superstar Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final last year.
On Sunday, it was Sampdoria's Gennaro Delvecchio who was the guilty party and he was sent off in the seventh minute for the assault.
Angered by a late challenge on Inter keeper Julio Cesar, Materazzi exchanged angry words with Delvecchio before the Sampdoria midfielder's head hit him squarely on the chin.
