Inter hung on at the end to beat
Udinese 2-1 at San Siro on Sunday and consolidate their lead at
the top of Serie A.
The reigning Italian champions looked to be cruising when
first-half goals by Davide Frattesi and Marko Arnautović put
them in command.
But Oumar Solet pulled one back for the visitors in the 79th
minute and Inter had to endure intense pressure in the closing
stages, with coach Simone Inzaghi sent off the dissent as
tempers frayed.
Inter have 67 points from 30 games, six points more than
second-placed Napoli, who entertain AC Milan later on Sunday.
Fiorentina dented Atalanta's hopes of lifting this season's
Serie A title, beating the Bergamo side 1-0 in Florence on
Sunday thanks to a goal by Italy forward Moise Kean at the end
of the first half.
Europa League champions Atalanta are third with 58 points, while
Fiorentina are eighth with 51.
Cagliari boosted their hopes of avoiding the drop to the second
tier when they thumped Serie A's bottom side Monza 3-0 at home
thanks to second-half goals by midfielders Nicolas Viola and
Gianluca Gaetano and an injury-time score by Angola forward Zito
Luvumbo.
The win lifts the Sardinian side to 15th with 29 points from 30
games ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures, six points
above the relegation zone.
