Sampdoria remain in the hunt of UEFA Champions League football, while there were also wins for Juventus, Fiorentina and Genoa.
Stefano Guberti scored twice in the second half as
Sampdoria beat 10-man
Bari 3-0 at home to stay in touch with the Champions League spots.
Giampaolo Pazzini's penalty on 17 minutes set Samp on their way before bottom club Bari had Mario Rossi sent off on 33 minutes.
The hosts took advantage of their numerical superiority in the second half as Guberti scored on 56 minutes before adding another five minutes later.
Juventus closed the gap on leaders AC Milan to six points as Fabio Quagliarella scored twice in a 3-1 win at
Catania.
Simone Pepe put Juve ahead on 35 minutes, but Catania were level within two minutes through Takayuki Morimoto.
However, Juve regained the lead through Quagliarella a minute before half-time and the striker scored again just before the hour mark.
Romanian striker Adrian Mutu scored the only goal of the game on 51 minutes as
Fiorentina beat
Cagliari 1-0 at home.
Proven striker Luca Toni was among the goals as
Genoa came from behind to win 3-1 away to struggling
Lecce.
Edward Ofere put Lecce ahead just before half-time, but it took Genoa only 10 minutes into the second half to draw level through Toni.
Andrea Ranocchia gave Genoa the lead 15 minutes from time and Marco Rossi made certain of the points with a third in the final minute.
Parma had the in-form Hernan Crespo to thank for securing a 2-1 win at home to
Udinese as the experienced hit-man netted both goals.
Crespo fired Parma ahead from the penalty spot midway through the first half and then scored the winner on 54 minutes after Antonio Di Natale had equalised on 34 minutes.
Bologna ended a troubled week on a positive note courtesy of a 2-0 triumph away to fellow strugglers
Cesena.
Marco Di Vaio opened the scoring on 31 minutes for Bologna, who had been docked a point for failing to make tax payments, and Miguel Britos scored a late second to see off Cesena.
