Lazio fell to a comprehensive loss at home to in-form Milan to leave Juventus seven points clear at the Serie A summit.
Match Reports
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was on target again as Milan beat Lazio 3-0 at Stadio Olimpico to derail their opponents' Scudetto hopes.
Juve moved seven points clear at the Serie A summit with a 4-1 win over rivals Torino earlier on Saturday and Lazio were unable to close the gap in their game in hand.
Lazio had not lost in 16 home games since May 2019 but were two down at half-time - Ibrahimovic scoring a penalty after setting up Hakan Calhanoglu for the opener.

Match Events
23' GOAL! Lazio 0-1 Milan (Calhanoglu)
CALHANOGLU!!! 1-0 MILAN! The in-form Turkish international puts the visitors in front. Receiving the ball from Ibrahimovic, he cuts inside from the left before his deflected shot loops over the despairing dive of Strakosha.
31' OFFSIDE! Ibrahimovic’s goal disallowed
Ibrahimovic thinks he has doubled Milan's lead as he tucks away a deep cross at the far post. However, the striker is rightly ruled offside after straying a couple of yards too quickly.
34' Penalty Goal! Lazio 0-2 Milan (Ibrahimovic)
Milan have a great chance to double their lead as Saelemaekers' cross strikes the hand of Radu and the referee points to the spot. Ibrahimovic will take. Strakosha goes the right way and gets his hand to Ibrahimovic's spot-kick, but is unable to prevent the ball from trickling over the line.
45' Alberto's long shot wide out
The hosts neatly work the ball to the edge of the area and lay it off for Alberto to strike. He pulls his effort well wide of the target, but encouraging signs going into the break.
52' Disallowed! Lazzari scores but the goal is offside
Lazio deal with the free-kick and launch a quickfire counter with Alberto leading the charge. He threads the ball through to Lazzari, who slams home only to be denied by the offside flag. Replays show that Alberto just needed to release the ball a fraction sooner and the hosts could have halved the deficit.
59' GOAL! Lazio 0-3 Milan (Rebic)
The three points could well be in the bag now! After receiving the ball from Hernandez on the edge of the area, Bonaventura demonstrates terrific awareness to pick out Rebic. The Croatian timed his run well to avoid the offside, before calmly slotting home.
78' Yellow Card! Jordan Lukaku booked
Lukaku receives the first yellow card of the game after catching Saelemaekers late.
