Serie A's top three, Juventus, AS
Roma and Napoli, all won at the weekend while Inter climbed to
fourth by thumping sixth-placed Atalanta 7-1 at home on Sunday.
Mauro Icardi and Ever Banega scored hat-tricks and Roberto
Gagliardini was on target too as Inter handed out an unexpected
drubbing to their rivals for a place in European competition
next season.
Lazio can climb back above Inter and recover fourth-place if
they beat Torino at home later on Monday.
Juventus, who are gunning for a sixth consecutive league
title, beat AC Milan 2-1 in Turin on Friday with a controversial
last-gasp penalty converted by Paulo Dybala.
There were angry scenes at the end after the spot-kick was
awarded for handball by Mattia De Sciglio, even though the ball
hit him at speed from close range and it did not look
intentional.
Roma remain eight points behind Juve after beating
relegation-threatened Palermo 3-0 in Sicily.
Napoli, two points further back in third, beat second-bottom
Crotone by the same scoreline.
