Catania and AS Roma came out victorious on Saturday against Parma and Juventus respectively.
Former Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri returned to haunt his old club and pile the misery on his successor Ciro Ferrara as Roma ran out 2-1 winners at the Stadio Olimpico this evening.
Alessandro Del Piero gave the home side the lead with a fine goal in the 51st minute, but Francesco Totti equalised from the penalty spot in the 68th minute.
Juve lost goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to a red card in the 83rd minute before John Arne Riise clinched the points for Roma deep in stoppage time to take them to within two points of second-placed AC Milan and leave Juve at risk of dropping as low as eighth this weekend.
Earlier on, Catania raised their hopes of avoiding relegation with a thoroughly deserved 3-0 victory over freefalling Parma.
Giuseppe Mascara had the Stadio Massimino on its feet for the first time in the 15th minute before disappointing them seven minutes later by missing a penalty.
It was not to matter though, as Jorge Martinez and Takayuki Morimoto sealed a comfortable win for the Sicilians, who moved to within one point of safety at the bottom of the table.
