MILAN (AP) — Defending Serie A champion Inter Milan moved within one point of league leader and city rival AC Milan with a 2-0 win against Hellas Verona. Ivan Perišić set up both first-half goals for Nicolò Barella and Edin Džeko. Milan visits Torino on Sunday. Both Milan teams have played the same number of matches as Inter still has to play a postponed match against Bologna. Juventus fought back from conceding an early goal to win 2-1 at relegation-threatened Cagliari and consolidate fourth spot. Empoli and Spezia moved further away from the bottom three with a 0-0 draw.
