Serie A round-up

Juventus extended their Serie A lead following a 2-1 win over Atalanta.

Juventus extended their Serie A lead following a 2-1 win over Atalanta, while nearest rivals Milan slipped up against Bologna.

Ruben Olivera's goal after 22 minutes set Juve on their way with Alessandro Del Piero's late penalty ensuring the visitors claimed all three points.

There was still time for the bottom club to pull one goal back through Lilian Thuram's own goal, but it proved nothing more than a consolation.

At the San Siro, Milan lost ground on the leaders after Tomas Locatelli's 27th minute goal sent the Rossoneri crashing to a shock defeat against Bologna.

Internazionale moved up into third place thanks to a 2-0 win at Palermo, with Christian Vieir the hero for Intaer as he grabbed both of the goals.

Lecce bagged their seventh win of the season after Klas Ingesson's 15th minute goal lifted them to a 1-0 success over Brescia.

Fausto Rossini cancelled out Simone Vergassola's opener for Siena to give Sampdoria a 1-1 draw at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Mauro Esposito's early goal was enough to give Cagliari a 1-0 triumph over struggling Fiorentina.

Reggina left it late but snatched a last-gasp 2-1 win over 10-man Lazio at home.

It began so well for the visitors when Aparecido Cesar opened the scoring, but he was later sent off in the first half.

Despite being a man short they battled bravely, but were penetrated after 71 minutes when Emiliano Bonazzoli equalised.

The visitors thought they had done enough for a point, however Giuseppe Colucci netted with the last kick of the game to secure the win.

Roma fought back from two-down to bag a 3-2 victory over Messina at Stadio Olimpico.

Goals from Riccardo Zampagna and Alessandro Parisi put the visitors in firm control of the tie.

However, the home side burst into life after the break and efforts from Francesco Totti, Antonio Cassano and Alessandro Mancini turned the game on its head.
