An own goal by Inter Milan's own goalkeeper Francesco Bardi, who is playing on loan this season at Livorno, and a late Yuto Nagatomo strike earned the Nerazzurri all three points at the San Siro.

CHIEVO VERONA 0-0 AC MILAN

Captain Riccardo Montolivo saw red for Milan,who are now winless in four, when picking up a second bookable offence in the 83rd minute and Sergio Pellissier was dismissed for the hosts in injury time. It was a game which was less filled with no top action as both sides hardly tested each other...*Yawns*
In other SerieA games; surprise team of the season Hellas Verona's ended their good run at Genoa,who ran out 2-0 winners thanks to first-half goals from Daniele Portanova and Juraj Kucka.
