MILAN: Udinese exploited poor defending by Inter Milan by rallying to beat the defending Serie A champion 3-1 Sunday and inflict coach Leonardo's first loss. Dejan Stankovic gave the visitors the lead in the 16th minute and it appeared Inter was in total control when he went close minutes later. However, Udinese equalized soon after through Cristian Zapata and by halftime was leading 2-1 after Antonio Di Natale scored from a free kick. In the second half, Maurizio Domizzi added a third after the defense was again unable to clear the danger, snapping Inter's run of five straight wins under Leonardo since the Brazilian took over from Rafa Benitez in December. Napoli kept up its pressure on AC Milan at the top of the standings with a 2-0 win at Bari. Ezequiel Lavezzi diverted Edinson Cavani's free kick past goalkeepr Jean-Francois Gillet in the 38th minte. Bari had to play the last 23 minutes with 10 men after Alessandro Parisi earned a second yellow card for elbowing Napoli defender Christian Maggio in the face. Edinson Cavani wrapped up the win in the 87th with his 14th goal of the season. Bologna, meanwhile, won 3-1 at home to Lazio. Also Sunday, it was; Chievo Verona 0, Genoa 0; Fiorentina 1, Lecce 1 and Sampdoria 0, Juventus 0. Blackburn 7th Blackburn Rovers climbed from 12th to seventh in the Premier League on the back of a comfortable 2-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion Sunday. A bizarre headed own goal by Gabriel Tamas just before halftime and a scorching drive by David Hoilett soon after were fair reward for their dominance, though West Brom was furious when a trip on Peter Odemwingie was given as a free kick instead of a penalty midway through the second half. Blackburn has 31 points with West Brom, which has lost six of its last seven games, 15th on 25 – three points above the relegation zone.
