Inter take derby honours, wins for Juve, Fiorentina and Reggina
Internazionale marched on at the top of Serie A following a 2-1 win over Milan in the city derby at Giuseppe Meazza.
Juventus and Fiorentina both recorded home wins, while Reggina posted just a second Serie A success of the season.
Following Roma's 2-0 home triumph over Sampdoria on Saturday,
Inter picked up the gauntlet to prevail 2-1 at home to
Milan.
The Rossoneri, who are struggling this season, took an 18th minute lead through Andrea Pirlo's superbly executed free-kick.
But Inter levelled before half-time through Julio Cruz and Esteban Cambiasso scored a 63rd minute winner to give the reigning champions a seven-point cushion at the top.
Juventus consolidated their position in third spot with a 2-0 victory at home to lowly
Siena.
Hasan Salihamidzic opened the scoring on 32 minutes and French striker David Trezeguet added the second just before the hour mark.
Fiorentina thrashed bottom club
Cagliari 5-1 at home, with Adrian Mutu and Mario Santana both scoring twice.
Ricardo Montolivo's third minute goal was quickly cancelled out by Michele Fini before Mutu put Fiorentina back in front just before half-time.
Mutu converted a penalty within 60 seconds of the start of the second half before Santana scored on 48 and 80 minutes.
Reggina edged closer to climbing out of the bottom three with an impressive 3-1 triumph at home to
Catania, with Francesco Modesto opening the scoring on 34 minutes.
Luca Vigiani made it 2-0 on 78 minutes before Catania pulled one back in the 90th minute through Juan Vargas.
However, deep into injury-time, Vigiani notched his second of the game to secure a precious three points for Reggina.
Fourth-placed
Udinese twice threw away a lead to draw 2-2 at home to 10-man
Empoli, who scored a last-minute equaliser.
Andrea Dossena put Udinese ahead on 22 minutes before Empoli drew level five minutes into the second half through Andrea Raggi.
The 57th minute dismissal of Francesco Pratali put Empoli on the back foot before Udinese regained the lead five minutes from time through Antonio Di Natale.
But with Empoli seemingly out of the game, the visitors snatched an unlikely point in the final minute through Lino Marzoratti.
Napoli were held 1-1 at home by
Torino, who almost hung on for a win, despite playing the second half with 10 men.
Alessandro Rosina put Torino in front on 36 minutes before Vincenzo Grella was sent off just before the break.
Maurizio Domizzi missed a penalty early in the second half for Napoli before Marek Hamsik equalised 10 minutes from time.
Lazio came from two goals down to force a 2-2 draw at
Palermo, who had gone in front on 34 minutes through Fabio Simplicio.
Carvalho Amauri made it 2-0 just after the interval, only for Lazio to reply on 59 minutes courtesy of Fabio Firmani.
Sebastiano Siviglia was sent off on 75 minutes, but substitute Igli Tare levelled with 10 minutes to go before Lazio had Lorenzo Di Silvestri dismissed a minute from time.
Fernando Tissone's 33rd minute goal secured
Atalanta a 1-1 draw at
Livorno, who had gone ahead through Fabio Galante on 26 minutes.
