Roma beat Udinse to jump Inter into third place in Serie A

Roma gave themselves a boost in the battle for Serie A's European places by winning 2-0 at Udinese on Saturday.

The game was goalless for 70 minutes before rising Turkish star Cengiz Under scored his fourth goal in three games with a ferocious left-footed drive from outside the box.

Diego Perotti made the game safe in the last minute, tucking away from Radja Nainggolan's throughball to extend Roma's winning run to three.

Inter Milan missed the chance to climb above Roma and into third after they were beaten 2-0 by Genoa.

Andrea Ranocchia's 45th-minute own goal and a strike from Goran Pandev saw Genoa record their third league win in five games and climb to 12th place.

Chievo pulled themselves away from the relegation zone with a 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Emanuele Giaccherini's unstoppable free kick and Roberto Inglese's excellent solo strike put the hosts two goals to the good and though Leonardo Pavoletti pulled one back, Cagliari came up short.
