AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino gave his side an early lead at Sampdoria and wasted a chance to double the advantage when he blasted Andriy Shevchenko's cutback high over the bar.

His wastefulness was punished in the 38th minute when Sampdoria striker Emiliano Bonazzoli turned and fired the equaliser into the top corner of Dida's net from close range.

Milan came out strongly after the interval but repeatedly ran into Sampdoria's suffocating defence and Max Tonetto grabbed the winner in the 58th minute, unleashing a powerful shot from the left that beat Dida at his near post.

CAME DOWN

Udinese have been revelling in the spotlight since their 3-0 Champions League win over Panathinaikos in midweek, but they came down to earth with a bump at Fiorentina.

Sulley Muntari's powerful drive put them ahead at the end of an edgy opening 30 minutes, but goals by Stefano Fiore and Luca Toni gave the hosts a halftime advantage.

As the game entered its final 15 minutes Vincenzo Iaquinta, who struck a hat-trick against Panathinaikos, had a goal overruled for pushing a defender.

With Udinese's players still protesting against the decision, Marco Donadel whipped in Fiorentina's third goal from a free kick. Toni then bagged his second of the game following a counter attack.
