AC Milan snatched a controversial 2-1 win at Chievo in a Serie A game Sunday to remain five points clear of second-place Inter Milan.
Brazilian Pato came on halfway through the second half to score a late winner with a devastating run and a soft drive by the first post.
The Devils' opening goal on 25 minutes enraged the home fans who, unlike the game officials, watched Brazilian Robinho lay in after a glaring handball off an aerial feed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Ibra had a smashing shot deflected by Stefano Sorrentino before Milan ran a big risk when Sergio Pellissier misfired from few metres away before the break.
Swiss Gelson Fernandes levelled with a header on 61 minutes, but the Verona hosts lost steam after Pato's 82nd-minute goal due to the dismissal of Slovenian Bostian Cesar for handball.
On Saturday, Inter moved onto 50 points through a 1-0 win snatched with an own goal against visiting Cagliari.
With 12 games left to the end of the season, the Nerazzurri leapfrogged Napoli, who can claw their way back to second place when they welcome struggling Catania late Sunday.
Fourth place remained firmly in the hands of Lazio after Brazilian Hernanes volleyed home a great winner to edge bottom side Bari 1-0 and retain the last available Champions League berth.
A suicidal Roma squandered a three-goal lead in Genoa to suffer a 4-3 defeat as the hosts rallied with braces from Argentine Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi. Genoa had Rafinha sent off in injury time.
The side from the capital continued a disastrous run and stayed rooted in eighth place after two draws and a third straight defeat.
Udinese only drew 0-0 at home with lowly Brescia, Fiorentina and Sampdoria also played out a scoreless draw and Parma drew 2-2 with Cesena in a regional derby.
Struggling giants Juventus crashed to a 2-0 defeat at minnows Lecce earlier Sunday in a game that they played for the most part without the dismissed Gianluigi Buffon.
Also on Saturday, Bologna beat Palermo 1-0.
