Chievo punishes below-par Inter
Inter Milan missed the chance to significantly strengthen its grip on a UEFA Champions League place as a stoppage-time equaliser saw it held to a 1-1 draw at Serie A's bottom club Chievo.
Luciano Spalletti's men were presented with an opportunity to increase the gap between themselves and fifth-placed AC Milan, which was beaten 1-0 at home by Fiorentina earlier in the day.
The visitors were never at their best, but looked set to claim all three points thanks to Ivan Perisic's close-range 39th-minute strike, which marked his first league goal since September.
However, a Chievo side that offered scant resistance provided a late sting in the tail thanks to Sergio Pellissier as the captain dinked over Samir Handanovic, meaning third-placed Inter is just six points clear of Milan in the fifth.
