Lazio snatched a 1-1 draw against Juventus, one of their direct rivals for fourth spot, on Saturday. The match changed on the hour mark when Kalulu was sent off for hitting an opponent while his team led 1-0.
Fourth-placed Juventus remained level on points with Lazio, above the capital team thanks to a better head-to-head record.
Roma are only a point behind and visit third-placed Atalanta on Monday. Bologna are a point further back following Friday’s loss to AC Milan and could be joined on points if Fiorentina win at Venezia on Monday.
There are two rounds remaining.
Juventus broke the deadlock six minutes after the break when Weston McKennie floated in a cross from the left for an unmarked Randal Kolo Muani to head in from close range.
However, nine minutes later, Kalulu was sent off after video review. He hit Taty Castellanos on the back of the shoulder, although the Lazio forward fell clutching his face.
Lazio levelled in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio pulled off another fine save to keep out Castellanos’ header, but he couldn’t stop Matías Vecino’s follow-up from point-blank range.
