Milan maul Parma
AC Milan bounced back to winning ways with a 4-0 thrashing of Parma at the San Siro on Saturday to maintain their grip on the Serie A leadership.
Coming into the game off the back of two straight draws and only two wins in their previous six league games, Milan were starting to come under pressure from the chasing pack, notably a revitalised Inter Milan and surprise package Napoli.
And second-placed Napoli remained hot on their heels three points back as league top scorer Edinson Cavani bagged a brace to down Roma 2-0.
First half goals from Clarence Seedorf and Antonio Cassano, his first for the club, put this game to bed before the break.
Substitute Robinho then scored a second half brace to emphasise Milan's superiority.
Napoli all but mathematically ended Roma's title chances by claiming their first win away to the giallorossi in 17 years.
Cavani opened the scoring on 49 minutes from the penalty spot after Juan had clipped Marek Hamsik's heel in the area.
And the Uruguayan finished things off seven minutes from time as he stabbed home Paolo Cannavaro's cross from six yards.
Roma now trail Milan by 13 points, although with a game in hand.
RESULTS
AC Milan 4 (Seedorf 8, Cassano 17, Robinho 61, 65) Parma 0
Roma 0 Napoli 2 (Cavani 49-pen, 83)
