Udinese moved to the top of the Serie A standings with a 3-1 win against disappointing Roma at the Stadio Friuli.

Captain Antonio Di Natale shook off a knee injury he picked up in the UEFA Cup win over Tottenham in midweek to score a brace while Antonio Floro Flores added a first-half goal.

Roma got their captain on the scoresheet as Francisco Totti netted a late penalty, but the goal was unable to inspire a comeback.

The defeat will no doubt pile further pressure on Giallorossi coach Luciano Spalletti, whose side are now just a point away from the relegation places in 15th position with only two wins to their name this season.
