Poor defending cost Inter Milan as the Italian giants suffered their second straight Europa League defeat, 3-1 at Sparta Prague.
The hosts took the lead after just seven minutes when Felipe Melo's attempt at a diving clearance only pushed the ball into Vaclav Kadlec's path.
It got worse for Inter on 25 minutes when the back line was caught napping at a quickly taken free kick, leaving Kadlec plenty of time in the box to double the lead.
Rodrigo Palacio pulled a goal back for Inter with 20 minutes to play, but after Andrea Ranocchia was sent off for a second yellow card, Mario Holek headed home from the resulting free kick to seal the win.
