Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan took a massive step towards the Serie A title today as they secured a 1-1 draw at 10-man Juventus.The result leaves Juve 10 points adrift of Inter with just six games to make up the deficit, although it could have been even worse after rising star Mario Balotelli put Mourinho's men in front in the 64th minute.A bad day appeared to have reached crisis point with 15 minutes to go when midfielder Tiago was dismissed, but Zdenek Grygera found an equaliser in the dying seconds to boost morale for the Turin side.Fourth-placed Genoa's hopes of Champions League qualification suffered a blow as they went down 1-0 at home to Lazio, for whom Argentinian Mauro Zarate scored the only goal in the 65th minute.
