Inter hosted Torino to a 4-0 thrashing as Juventus, Udinese and Napoli got back to winning ways. Roma travelled to tricky Livorno and left with just a point.

Inter Milan have extended their lead at the top of Serie A to five points after the Nerazzurri thrashed Torino while second-placed Roma could only draw 1-1 at Livorno.

Inter were in imperious form once again and extended their unbeaten start to 15 games with a 4-0 thrashing of Torino at the San Siro.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic set the hosts on their way after 37 minutes and second-half strikes from Julio Cruz, Luis Jimenez and Ivan Cordoba completed a comfortable win.

Roma had a much tougher afternoon against Livorno in Leghorn.

Daniele De Rossi put the Giallorossi ahead after four minutes but Diego Tristan equalised two minutes later.

Juventus closed the gap on Roma to just three points after a late strike from Pavel Nedved was enough to give Claudio Ranieri's men a 1-0 win over Atalanta.

Fourth-placed Udinese came from behind to see off Sampdoria 3-2.

In an open game at the Friuli Stadium, it was the hosts who took the lead through Antonio Di Natale's strike midway though the first half but Claudio Bellucci equalised from the penalty spot shortly after.

Christian Maggio gave the visitors a 2-1 lead before the break.

However, Udinese hit back in the second half and Fabio Quagliarella restored parity on 70 minutes before scoring his second late in the game.

Individual performance of the day came from Empoli's Nicola Pozzi, who scored four times to lift his side off the foot of the table thanks to a 4-1 defeat of Cagliari, who slip to the bottom as a result.

Daniele Conti grabbed Cagliari's goal but it was a dismal performance from the Sardinians.

Another side struggling at the wrong end of the table, Siena, won 3-1 at Genoa.

Genoa were blown away by three goals in the first 24 minutes with some shocking defending gifting the visitors all three points before the interval.

Two-goal Mario Frick scored the opener in the 11th minute with a Simone Loria goal sandwiched in between that and his second in the 24th minute.

Genoa substitute Lucho Figueroa scored a consolation with practically the only shot on goal in the second half.

Marcelo Zalayeta scored the only goal as Napoli edged out Parma 1-0 in the evening game.
