    Ivan Perisic celebrates after scoring the winning goal for Inter Milan

    Third-placed Roma missed the chance to overtake Juventus in the table as they lost 1-0 at Fiorentina, sunk by Milan Badelj’s 81st minute strike.

    Genoa and Udinese squandered the chance to move level on points with Juventus after defeats by Sassuolo and Chievo Verona respectively. 

    Stephan Lichsteiner had knocked in Alex Sandro’s low cross to give Juve the lead in the 66th minute in a typically tense encounter but Inter captain Mauro Icardi levelled two minutes later by heading home from a corner. 

    Icardi then provided a stylish cross with the outside of his boot for Perisic to score in the 78th minute.
