AC Milan picked up a much-needed win over struggling Cagliari, triumphing 3-1 at the San Siro to relieve some of the pressure on coach Filippo Inzaghi.
Two goals from Jeremy Menez, the second coming from the penalty spot, and a Philippe Mexes strike earned the Rossoneri only their second win since the start of February, and first in their last four.
Diego Farias scored the consolation for Cagliari, who remain inside the bottom three and potentially seven points from safety with eight games of the season remaining.
Chievo put plenty of daylight between themselves and the relegation zone thanks to a 1-0 win over Palermo at Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday evening.
Alberto Paloschi scored the only goal of the game and also missed a penalty, while the Sicilians ended the game with only 10 men after Sinisa Andjelkovic was given his marching orders late on.
The defeat practically ends any outside hopes Palermo still might have harboured of qualifying for Europe next season.
