Inter were crowned champions last night after closest challengers and city rivals AC Milan went down 2-0 at Udinese.

But any thoughts they would take their foot off the gas were dispelled as goals from Esteban Cambiasso (45), Mario Balotelli (52) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (76) secured the win.

Milan's hold on second place was strengthened as Juventus could only manage a 2-2 home draw with Atalanta.

Atalanta stunned Claudio Ranieri's men when Luca Cigarini fired them ahead in the second minute but Vincenzo Iaquinta restored parity in the 26th minute before a stunner from Cristiano Zanetti put the hosts in front.

Substitute Maximiliano Pellegrino levelled matters a minute before half-time to leave Juve three points off second spot with two matches left.

Fiorentina are just a point further back in fourth after they beat Sampdoria 1-0 thanks to Alberto Gilardino's goal after 21 minutes.

Genoa came from behind to secure the point they needed to qualify for the Europa League next season thanks to a 2-2 draw with Chievo at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Giampiero Pinzi put Chievo ahead in the 35th minute, but a penalty from Diego Milito in the 58th minute levelled matters before Ruben Olivera put the home side ahead in the 71st minute.

Sergio Pellissier scored the equaliser which all but mathematically secures Chievo's future in the top flight five minutes from time.

Roma hold the last European spot, but are just two points ahead of Palermo after the Sicilians beat Lazio 2-0.

Palermo knew they needed a win to realistically keep their Europa League dreams alive after Roma beat Catania last night.

And they got off to the ideal start when Fabrizio Miccoli opened the scoring in the sixth minute from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Lazio defender Aleksandar Kolarov.

Despite having numerous chances to double their lead, the hosts only added their second three minutes from time with a Giulio Migliaccio header.

The title may have already been decided, but the fight to beat the drop threatens to go right to the wire.

Torino's survival bid remains on track as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Napoli.

Second-half goals from Rolando Bianchi and Alessandro Rosina kept the Granata a point clear of the relegation zone.

Inacio Pia had put Napoli ahead three minutes before the break, but the visitors fought back to record two timely firsts for the campaign.

Not only was this their first away win this term, but it was also the first time they have taken all three points after trailing.

The gloss was taken off the win by victories for fellow strugglers Reggina and Bologna - albeit over another side battling the drop in Lecce.

Sergio Volpi struck a 94th-minute winner to earn Bologna a 2-1 success.

Simone Tiribocchi had put Lecce ahead on the half-hour mark but Marco di Vaio levelled seven minutes later.

The visitors had Dimitrios Papadopoulos sent off five minutes into the second half.

The result sees both teams remain in the drop zone with two games remaining, but 18th-placed Bologna move onto 33 points while Lecce stay on 29 and slip to bottom of the standings on the back of Reggina's 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Cagliari took 18 minutes to break the deadlock through Andrea Lazzari but Fabio Ceravolo equalised shortly afterwards.

And Franco Brienza scored early in the second half to seal three priceless points for the hosts which leaves them four points from safety.
