March 30, 2008 21:08 IST

Troubled AC Milan slipped back to sixth in Serie A on Sunday after they lost 2-1 at home to Atalanta and rivals Udinese beat Fiorentina 3-1.

Sergio Floccari and Antonio Langella scored the first half goals against a sleepy Milan defence before a frantic last five minutes when Milan almost levelled.

Paolo Maldini pulled one back with a header, team mate Alessandro Nesta was sent off for protesting and Andrea Pirlo had a penalty saved. Clarence Seedorf had earlier had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside.

Udinese move above Milan and are now just three points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina after goals from Italy strikers Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella secured victory.

Sunday's game between Juventus and Parma was postponed after a Parma fan was accidentally knocked down and killed by a bus following a spat with rival supporters.
