OMNISPORT
Fiorentina are nine points behind Roma in fifth after succumbing to a 2-1 loss at Udinese and at the other end Frosinone missed the chance to pull out of the bottom three, with Arlind Ajeti and Raman Chibsah sent off for the strugglers as they were thumped 5-1 by Chievo.
Sergio Pellissier netted a double for Chievo in a win that stretches their unbeaten run to six matches. Third-bottom Frosinone are a point adrift of Carpi, who play AC Milan on Thursday.
Second-bottom Palermo claimed what could be a crucial point with a 2-2 draw against Atalanta, the Sicilian club holding on for a point in spite of Roberto Vitiello's late dismissal to go within two points of Carpi.
Sampdoria edged seven points clear of Frosinone with a 0-0 draw at Sassuolo despite Andrea Ranocchia being sent off in the first half, Domenico Berardi missing a late penalty for the hosts.
Elsewhere, Empoli are all but safe following a 1-0 defeat of rock-bottom Verona, who finished the game with 10 men.
