Inter retained their Serie A title with three games to spare after second-placed AC Milan put in a weak performance to lose 2-1 at Udinese.

The 40-year-old pulled down Antonio Floro Flores on 31 minutes to allow Gaetano D'Agostino to fire home a penalty and then failed to clear a corner before Cristian Zapata slammed the ball in at the far post early in the second half.
Massimo Ambrosini headed in for Milan in stoppage time.
