AS Roma handed the Serie A initiative back to leaders Inter after losing 2-1 at home to Sampdoria on Sunday, their first league defeat in 25 games.

Claudio Ranieri's side looked to heading back to the summit after Francesco Totti's 14th-minute goal but a second-half double from Giampaolo Pazzini sent Samp up to fourth spot.

Inter, 3-1 winners over Atalanta on Saturday, are two points ahead of Roma with just three matches remaining.

Bottom side Livorno were earlier relegated despite a 3-1 home victory over Catania while Bologna's 2-1 win over Parma also meant Siena are all but down following a 4-1 defeat at Udinese.
