AC Milan won 2-1 at Fiorentina to stay top of Serie A on Sunday despite striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic being sent off for his second match in a row.
First-half goals from Clarence Seedorf and Alexandre Pato put AC Milan in command before Juan Vargas pulled one back and Ibrahimovic, returning from a two-match ban following his red card at Bari, was dismissed.
Napoli won 2-0 at Bologna to keep up the pressure on Milan and there was more drama at Palermo, which conceded two stoppage time goals against 10-man Cesena and drew 2-2 in coach Delio Rossi's comeback barely a month after he was sacked.
Lazio's 2-0 win over Parma moved it into the Champions League qualifying round spot and Luca Toni struck a late winner to give Juventus a 3-2 win over Genoa to keep alive its hopes of at least making the Europa League next season.
Milan has 68 points from 32 games, three more than Napoli with defending champion Inter Milan, 2-0 winners over Chievo Verona on Saturday, a further two behind in third place.
With only six matches left, Inter look increasingly unlikely to win a sixth successive title.
In France, Lyon moved back into the French league title race by beating Lens 3-0 and second-place Marseille drew 2-2 with Toulouse on Sunday, a day after leader Lille lost at Monaco.
In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen came from behind to beat St. Pauli 2-1 and move within five points of Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund, with five rounds remaining in the season.
Substitute Lars Bender, whose brother Sven plays for Dortmund, scored the winner in the 77th minute.
In the earlier game on Sunday, Marcus Reus scored twice as last-place Borussia Moenchengladbach revived its hopes of avoiding relegation by crushing Cologne 5-1.
