Clarence Seedorf, Antonio Cassano and Robinho secured AC Milan's 3-0 win Saturday over struggling Sampdoria to strengthen the Devils' lead in the Italian Serie A with five games left.
The Devils moved six points clear of Napoli ahead of a home game that the Naples side play late Sunday at home to Udinese.
At the Giuseppe Meazza, Milan played a fairly slow-paced first half that they closed one goal up with a free kick from Seedorf, who in part had to thank custodian Gianluca Curci for his dithering on a drive that the Dutchman drilled into the far corner.
Bad news for the Rossoneri came from a muscle injury that before the break sidelined the brittle Brazil ace Pato as Sweden bomber Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended for two more games.
Antonio Cassano came on after the break and converted a spot kick before setting up Robinho for a close-range header that closed the game on the hour.
Also late Saturday, Serie A champions Inter Milan crashed 2-0 at minnows Parma and slipped eight points from their leading city rivals.
The diminutive Sebastian Giovinco displayed great form and scored a first-half opener followed by a late goal from Amauri, who earlier shook the bar on a counterattack.
In action earlier Saturday, Palermo came from behind with a late brace from Uruguayan Abel Hernandez to stun Roma 3-2 at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.
Home captain Francesco Totti opened the scoring with a penalty, and Mirko Vucinic scored a last-gasp goal, but Roma could not avoid a home defeat hours after US magnate Thomas DiBenedetto signed a deal to acquire control of the club.
The Giallorossi stayed in sixth place in the Serie A but could be leapfrogged Sunday by Juventus in the race for an Europa League berth.
