Antonio Di Natale, last season's Serie A top scorer, grabbed his seventh goal of the campaign to give Udinese a 1-0 win over Palermo and keep it one point behind leader Juventus on Sunday.

Lazio also stayed one point behind Juventus after a 3-0 win at Cagliari in the late match.

Elsewhere, it was: Parma 2, Cesena 0; Fiorentina 1, Genoa 0; Siena 4, Chievo 1; Lecce 1, Novara 1; and Bologna 3, Atalanta 1.

Di Natale, who once again tops the scoring charts, took advantage of slack marking in the 38th minute to turn in Dusan Basta's cross as Udinese bounced back from Wednesday's 0-2 defeat at Napoli.

Lazio soaked up early pressure in Sardinia, then hit its host with goals from Senad Lulic, Miroslav Klose and Tommasso Rocchi.

Sunday's results left Udinese and Lazio with 18 points from nine games, one behind leader Juventus which beat Inter Milan 2-1 away on Saturday.
