Rome - An own goal in a 1-0 win Sunday over Udinese allowed Inter Milan to leave Juventus nine points behind with eight games left in the Serie A season.

Juve stumbled earlier Sunday in a 3-3 home draw with minnows Chievo, allowing Sergio Pellissier to top a hat-trick with an injury- time equalizer.

In Udine, two wide drives from Ghana's Sulley Muntari were the only first-half efforts from a lacklustre Inter, who had some problems in defence as Udinese pressed on the flanks to provide feeds for Fabio Quagliarella.
