I won't stop here says Pippo

''I'm not stopping here,'' said Pippi Inzaghi as his second hat-trick in six games put AC Milan in joint second place in Serie A and kept him in the hunt to become Italy's most profilic modern-day scorer.

After his three in the 5-1 demolition of Genoa that put Milan level with Juventus, ten points behind odds-on scudetto favourites Inter, Inzaghi now has 304 goals to his credit - 14 fewer than Fiorentina and Juve legend Roberto Baggio.

The pair are only outstripped by goal-getters of earlier times, Giuseppe Meazza with 338 and Silvio Piola with 364.

Superpippo, 35, said he has no intention of giving up his bid to overtake 'Golden Ponytail' Baggio, despite being employed on a part-time basis by Milan.

''Nothing's going to stop me. I still feel good and I'm still getting to the ball ahead of the defenders. It makes me laugh when people say Milan needs a frontman who can beat defenders in the air''.

The first two of Inzaghi's goals at the San Siro Sunday night were provided by David Beckham who said:

''Filippo is one of the best strikers in the world''.

''All you have to do is put the ball in the right place and he sticks in the back of the net''.

Here's how the Serie A table looks after Saturday's 1-1 Juve-Inter draw, with six games to go: Inter 74, AC Milan 64, Juve 64, Genoa 57, Fiorentina 55, Roma 52, Palermo 49, Cagliari 48, Lazio 47, Udinese 42, Atalanta 41, Catania 40, Sampdoria 40, Napoli 39, Siena 37, Chievo 34, Torino 27, Bologna, Lecce 24, Reggina 23.

Inter appear certain to win their fourth title in a row.

They have the easiest run-in of the top three, while Milan has the toughest, playing Palermo at home, Catania away, Juve at home, Udinese away, Roma at home and Fiorentina away.
