The Milan stars were sent off to the dressing room after their home game against Lazio with a shrill chorus of whistles and chants against club owner Gerry Cardinale. They had previously suffered a bitter 1:2 defeat against Lazio.

It was bitter because Milan had meanwhile played with ten men (Pavlovic was sent off in the 67th minute) and had equalised Lazio's 1-0 lead thanks to the strong Zaccagni. Substitute Chukwueze scored in the 85th minute to make it 1-1. In the turbulent stoppage time, Milan goalkeeper Maignan brought down Lazio's Isaksen. Old star Pedro converted the resulting penalty in the 98th minute to make it 2-1.

Milan's gap to fourth-placed Lazio and thus to the last Champions League place is already nine points after the third defeat in a row.

Roma continues to win

Immediately ahead of Milan in the table is AS Roma, who scored their fourth win in a row with a hard-earned 2-1 home win against Como. Sixth-placed Bologna (2-1 against Cagliari) and Torino (2-0 in Monza) also extended their winning streaks. Empoli stopped its free fall with a 1-1 draw against Genoa.
