Torino forward Adem Ljajic denied Udinese a third straight Serie A win as he scored a late equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw.
With on loan Manchester City man Joe Hart in goal, Torino's Marco Benassi's netted the opener for the visitors but it was cancelled out by Cyril Thereau before Duvan Zapata fired Udinese ahead briefly.
But Ljajic then divided the spoils with his goal 13 minutes from time.
Benassi seized on Andrea Belotti's through ball to score in the 15th minute and it took the Bianconeri until the hour mark to equalise, with Thereau converting Silvan Widmer's cross.
Zapata put Udinese ahead on 70 minutes, but Ljajic earned Torino a point with his low drive seven minutes later.
Meanwhile, in the day's other game, Palermo sank further into the relegation mire after suffering a 2-1 defeat at Cagliari.
Two goals from captain Daniele Dessena inflicted a fourth straight defeat on Roberto De Zerbi's men, who are 19th.
Ilija Nestorovski did pull a goal back for Palermo, but it was too little, too late.
Cagliari opened the scoring in the 54th minute as Dessena volleyed Davide Di Gennaro's cross home.
Palermo tried to react but instead fell two goals behind as Dessena doubled up when driving Marco Sau's pass beyond Josip Posavec.
With 10 minutes to go, Nestorovski slashed the deficit when Cagliari were daydreaming.
