PALERMO - Inter were held 1-1 by Palermo at the Barbera to record their third consecutive draw, having shared the spoils with Sampdoria and Juventus in recent weeks.
Ivan Perisic finished a neatly worked move involving Jovetic and Biabiany to open the scoring on the hour mark before Gilardino stabbed home down the other end six minutes later to level matters.
Despite going down to ten men when Murillo saw red, the Nerazzurri pushed forward in search of a winner but were twice denied by Palermo keeper Sorrentino in the final minutes.
The point puts Inter level with Fiorentina on 18 points at the top of the table, with the Viola set to host Roma tomorrow. Meanwhile Roberto Mancini's men immediately turn their attentions to Tuesday's visit to Bologna.
