Late goals from Antonio Di Natale and Mauricio Isla sent Udinese top of Italian football's Serie A after a 2-0 win at home over AS Roma.
After a disappointing opening hour between two of Serie A's most exciting teams, Di Natale broke the deadlock on 79 minutes, cracking his ninth goal of the season after running on to Giampiero Pinzi's fine through ball.
Chilean midfielder Mauricio Isla settled the contest a minute from time, tapping in Pablo Armero's cross to give Udinese their sixth straight home win this season.
With 24 points from 12 matches, Francesco Guidolin's side are two points ahead of Lazio and Juventus, who have played two games fewer than Udinese, while Roma remain fifth.
Lazio host Juve on Sunday.
