After ending a form rut by beating
Lazio 2-0 in the Italian Cup semi-final first leg last week,
Juventus got back to winning ways in Serie A too on Sunday,
beating Fiorentina 1-0 in Turin thanks to a first-half goal by
defender Federico Gatti.
Juve are third with 62 points from 31 games, 17 points behind
runaway leaders Inter, who visit relegation-threatened Udinese
later on Monday.
AC Milan are second with 68 points after crushing Lecce 3-0 at
San Siro on Saturday.
Surprise-package Bologna remain fourth with 58 points despite
being held to goalless draw at third-from-bottom Frosinone on
Sunday.
AS Roma are three points behind them in fifth after beating city
rivals Lazio 1-0 on Saturday.
The top four are sure to qualify for next season's Champions
League but fifth place will probably secure a slot too, with
Italy likely to get one of the extra places being allocated on
the basis of the country's clubs' performances in Europe this
term.
Atalanta are fifth with 50 points after a 2-1 defeat at
Cagliari.
Reigning champions Napoli climbed to seventh with a 4-2 victory
at Monza.
