Chievo 0-2 Roma

Gervinho scored as Roma beat Chievo to take themselves to within 11 points of leaders Juventus.

The Ivorian's opener came from close range after he intercepted a horrendous weak header back by Bostjan Cesar, who had a loan spell at West Brom in 2007-08.

Mattia Destro doubled the lead late in the first half after slotting home following Rodrigo Taddei's through-ball.

Roma are now six points clear of third-placed Udinese in the race for the final automatic Champions League spot.

Earlier in the day, Torino striker Ciro Immobile scored the first hat-trick of his career in a 3-1 win over Livorno.

He is now the top scorer in Serie A this season with 16, one more than Juventus's Carlos Tevez.

The 24-year-old Italy World Cup hopeful said: "Not even when I was at Pescara did I score three goals in a game. I'm proud to have done it and for all that we have done this season - the team, the manager, the club.

"[Italy coach Cesare] Prandelli knows how much effort I put into everything I do. If he decides to call me up I'll give my all."
