Udinese moved to within one point of fourth place with a comfortable win over Sampdoria at the Stadio Friuli.
The Zebrette broke the deadlock early on when Alexis Sanchez headed home inside the box following Antonio Di Natale’s well placed free kick. The pair combined again shortly before the break as Sanchez returned the favour with a well placed through ball and Di Natale slotted home for his 100th Serie A goal in Udinese colours.
