UPDATE 2-Soccer-Genoa hold Inter, late Lazio goal sinks Roma

(adds details)

ROME, March 19 (Reuters) - Inter Milan moved seven points clear at the top of Serie A on Wednesday despite drawing 1-1 at Genoa, after second-placed AS Roma lost 3-2 to Lazio in a thrilling city derby.

A late Marco Borriello goal earned Genoa a point after Honduran striker David Suazo scored in the 12th minute for Inter, who had Portuguese midfielder Pele sent off for a second yellow just before halftime.

Roma were sunk by a stoppage-time winner from Lazio's Swiss midfielder Valon Behrami. Goran Pandev and Tommaso Rocchi also scored for Lazio with Rodrigo Taddei and Simone Perrotta on target for Roma.

Third-placed Juventus have 55 points from 29 games, 13 fewer than Inter, after being held to a goalless draw at struggling Empoli.

Fiorentina stay fourth and in control of Italy's final Champions League qualification slot despite losing 2-0 at Napoli, for whom Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi hit a double.

Fifth-placed Milan remain four points behind the Florence side after losing 2-1 to Sampdoria at the San Siro.

Inter had looked comfortable after Suazo tucked away a sweet Zlatan Ibrahimovic cross until Pepe's harsh red card.

The home side then laid siege to Inter's goal in the second half and were rewarded five minutes from time when Borriello scissor-kicked home the rebound from a Julio Cesar save to claim his 17th league goal of the season.
