Lazio heaps more misery on misfiring AC Milan
A last-gasp winner to veteran Pedro lifted Lazio to a 2-1 win over slumping AC Milan, which fell to a third-straight Serie A loss.
The result leaves Milan languishing in ninth in the Serie A table, six points adrift of a European place after a third consecutive defeat in the Italian top-flight.
Ahead of the game, Milan ultras had left their sector empty until the 15th minute in protest about the club's form, but returned in time to see Mattia Zaccagni put Lazio ahead.
Adam Marusic saw his effort saved by Milan captain Mike Maignan, but Zaccagni slammed home the rebound on his 150th appearance for Lazio in the 28th minute.
Milan's task of levelling the contest was made even more difficult in the 67th minute when Strahinja Pavlovic received a straight red card for a poor tackle on Gustav Isaksen.
But, with seven minutes remaining, the hosts hauled themselves level through substitute Samuel Chukwueze, whose header cannoned against the crossbar on its way in.
The game looked to be ending level until Lazio were awarded a late penalty after Isaksen was felled by Maignan, with a spot-kick awarded after a VAR review.
Pedro stepped up to coolly dispatch from 12 yards, sending Maignan the wrong way and moving Lazio up to fourth and eight points behind leader Napoli.
