Inter Milan's lead at the top of Serie A was cut to five points after their five-game winning streak came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Roma yesterday.
A subdued Inter went behind early on to Mirko Vucinic's header as Roma had the better of the opening period.
Inter coach Jose Mourinho threw caution to the wind at half-time, lining his side with four attackers, but despite Samuel Eto'o's 48th-minute equaliser, there was no grandstand finish for the tired-looking champions.
With Juventus and AC Milan both winning, the race for the scudetto is very much back on, while Roma, on 15 points, moved up a place to 13th. AC Milan moved into third after surviving late pressure to defeat Lazio 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico. An 84th-minute strike from Peruvian Juan Vargas for Fiorentina against Udinese saw the Viola move fourth, level on 21 points with stuttering Sampdoria, who were sunk 2-0 at Cagliari.
