Hernan Crespo said he had three reasons to celebrate after his goals helped Inter Milan win 4-3 over Chievo Verona guaranteeing the club top spot in Serie A. "At the moment things are going well for me and most of all for Inter," Crespo was quoted as saying by Inter's official website. "I'm three times happy today – for the victory, the two goals and the first place in the table," the Argentine ace said. Despite losing a 4-0 lead against Chievo Verona, Inter Milan held on for the win and as a result has overcome Palermo, Roma and Messina in the rankings, a feat Crespo was pleased to talk about. "A lot of things have been said recently, but in the end we are top of the table and we should be proud," he said.
