Inter Milan climbed to the top of the Serie A table thanks to Ivan Cordoba's injury-time winner against Reggina.

Roma's woes show no sign of ending after they suffered their fourth successive defeat and fifth in their last six games, going down 2-0 to Juventus.

Jose Mourinho's Inter looked to be cruising away to Reggina after early goals from Maicon and Patrick Vieira gave them a 2-0 cushion.

But Francesco Cozza responded for the home side before the interval and Franco Brienza restored parity soon after.

Just as it looked as though the champions would have to settle for a point, Cordoba fired beyond Andrea Campagnolo following a late corner.

The pressure continues to mount on Roma boss Luciano Spalletti after Juventus inflicted yet another defeat on the troubled capital club.

Alessandro Del Piero broke the deadlock in the 38th minute at the Stadio Olimpico and Marco Marchionni added a second shortly after the interval.

Roma have slipped to 17th in the table after this latest defeat, while Juve are now up to fifth.
