Lazio defeat 10-men Milan at the death in controversial Serie A clash | OneFootball

Pedro scored in the eighth minute of injury time to hand Lazio a controversial 2-1 win over 10-man Milan at the San Siro.

Scorers: Chukwueze 84'; Zaccagni 28', Pedro (pen) 90+8'

After an even enough opening 15 minutes to the game, Lazio began to take control and deservedly took the lead just before the half hour mark through their captain and main man, Mattia Zaccagni.

Capitalising on some lax Milan defending, they broke with Adam Marušić eventually taking aim at Mike Maignan. The French goalkeeper could only parry the ball into the path of Zaccagni, who slid in to tap home from close range.

João Félix came on just before the break for Yunus Musah, who appeared to have an injury, but he could not spark the Rossoneri into action, and they struggled to create chances.

Their hopes of a comeback were severely dented in the 67th minute when Strahinja Pavlović was given a straight red card for a challenge on Gustav Isaksen. The Lazio winger had just got ahead of the Milan defender when he lunged in, but given there was other defenders in close proximity, it felt a relatively harsh decision.

However, Lazio could not get the second and, with just six minutes left on the clock, substitute Samuel Chukwueze made them pay.

Rafael Leão's inswinger from the left was inviting, but the Nigerian winger did brilliantly to power a header high past Ivan Provedel to send the San Siro wild.

Both sides battled until the end looking for a winner, but Lazio were the ones to get it via the penalty spot after Maignan was controversially ruled to have fouled Isaksen.

Amid whistles and boos from the home end, Pedro stepped up to coolly send the keeper the wrong way with almost the last kick of the game.

The win pushes Lazio past Bologna and Juventus, and into top four for at least 24 hours.
