Inter Milan continued their march towards a second straight Serie A title with a tense 2-1 win over Udinese which moved the reigning champions six points clear at the top of the league.
Goals in the opening half an hour from Marko Arnautovic and Davide Frattesi were just enough to give Inter their third straight win ahead of the first of two Milan derbies in the Italian Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.
But Inter almost threw the points away after coach Simone Inzaghi made a series of changes midway through the second half to save his players' energy for a packed April.
