BERGAMO - Inter beat Atalanta to keep their four-point advantage over Roma with six games of the Serie A season remaining.
Patrick Vieira marked a return to top form with the opening goal after 21 minutes, Mario Balotelli adding a well taken second in the 74th.
Mancini called up just three strikers for the Bergamo trip, selecting Crespo and Balotelli in his starting XI and leaving Cruz on the bench.
Seventeen-year-old Balotelli combined with El Valdanito to perfection and it was the offside flag that kept Inter from going into the break with a big lead.
Inter went close to what would have been a stunning goal when Cambiasso crashed his first-time effort just wide of the woodwork after pouncing on a loose ball.
The Argentine marshalled the midfield brilliantly with Vieira and it was the Frenchman who grabbed a deserved opener when he headed in Balotelli's corner.
Crespo tucked home just before the break after latching on to Balotelli's deflected effort from Stankovic's brilliant cross, but the flag went up for offside.
