Fiorentina keep up pressure on leaders

Fiorentina boosted their chances of securing a first Serie A title since 1969 with a win over Udinese which lifted them up to second in the table.

Midfielder Milan Badelj gave the hosts the interval lead with a deflected shot before Emmanuel Badu conceded a penalty for a late tackle on Nikola Kalinic.

Josip Ilicic scored from the spot kick and defender Gonzalo Rodriguez made it 3-0 with a header from a corner.

Fiorentina, managed by Paulo Sousa, are one point behind leaders Inter Milan.

Elsewhere in Serie A, Atalanta climbed up to sixth after a 3-0 win over Palermo despite finishing with 10 men after substitute Giulio Migliaccio was shown a straight red for a foul on Ivaylo Chochev just 60 second after coming on.

Chievo also finished with 10 men but still won 2-0 at Frosinone, midfielder Simone Pepe red carded.

Bottom club Hellas Verona remain without a win after a 1-0 home defeat to Empoli.
