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 through-ball 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.
