Despite being reduced to 10 men, Milan managed to level in the 84th minute but Pedro converted a penalty in the eighth minute of stoppages on Sunday.

This was Milan’s third straight Serie A loss amid a disastrous run that also saw the Rossoneri crash out of the Champions League.

Milan dropped to ninth in the standings and were leapfrogged by Roma after Claudio Ranieri’s team fought back to beat 10-man Como 2-1.

Lazio climbed back into fourth place — one point above Juve — and were looking to get back to winning ways following two Serie A draws and being knocked out of the Italian Cup midweek by league leaders Inter, also at the San Siro.

Mattia Zaccagni gave the visitors the lead in the 28th minute. His initial attempt was saved by Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, but Zaccagni tapped in the rebound.

Milan’s chances of getting something from the match diminished in the 67th when defender Strahinja Pavlovic was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

Milan nevertheless managed to find an 84th-minute equaliser when an unmarked Samuel Chukwueze headed in at the far post.

But there was even later drama when Lazio were awarded a penalty on video review after Maignan brought down forward Gustav Isaksen. Pedro struck the spot kick into the bottom right corner.
