Juventus moved level with champions Milan at the top of Serie A following their narrow win at Lazio.

Juve looked set to lose ground on their title rivals as Lazio matched them during Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

Roma are now looking anxiously over their shoulders. They lie just fiuve points clears of the relegation zone.

Palermo saw their hopes of a Champions League spot suffer a significant blow after an unlikely defeat at bottom of the table Atalanta.

Elsewhere, Messina came from behind to inflict only a second defeat of the season on Internazionale. Inter went ahead just after the break through Julio Cruz, but Arturo Di Napoli levelled on the hour before Pereira Rafael fired home the late winner.

Livorno’s remain in contention for a UEFA Cup spot thanks to a 1-0 win over Lecce, with Cristiano Lucarelli’s last minute goal securing a valuable three points.
