Juventus extended their Serie A advantage by beating Atalanta 3-0 on Sunday, as Napoli lost 3-2 at home to Bologna.
Catania registered back-to-back Serie A wins for the first time this season by coming from behind to beat Sampdoria 3-1. Enzo Maresca had Samp dreaming of a possible first away win since September with an early penalty before Catania substitute Mario Paglialunga levelled after the break. Gonzalo Bergessio boosted Rolando Maran's men into the lead with a close-range header and Catania made the points safe through Lucas Castro's effort on the stroke of full-time. Andreas Granqvist grabbed an equaliser but Genoa could not find the winner they desperately needed in a 1-1 draw with Torino and improve their position towards the foot of the table. Sweden international Granqvist nodded home after 29 minutes to cancel out Rolando Bianchi's opener for the visitors. But Genoa could not conjure up a second, although they did have a goal chalked off two minutes into the second half when Marco Rossi was adjudged to have been offside when he poked the ball home.
