Serie A: Lazio Hammer AC Milan 4-Nil To Move Into Top Four

Serie A: Lazio Hammer AC Milan 4-Nil To Move Into Top Four

Lazio Celebrate Win Over AC Milan

Lazio moved into Serie A's Champions League places on Tuesday after hammering AC Milan 4-0 to leave the champions' title defence hanging by a thread.

Lazio breezed up to third on goal difference ahead of Inter Milan and local rivals Roma and a point behind second-placed AC Milan, who gave a disastrous display at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic put Lazio ahead after three minutes with a first-time finish, and by the time Mattia Zaccagni bundled in the hosts' 38th-minute second they could have already been up by three.

Luis Alberto ended the match as a contest by smashing home a penalty midway through the second half his beautifully disguised pass set up Felipe Anderson to roll in a deserved fourth in the 75th minute.

"If we play like we have in the last few matches, we can really go far," said Milinkovic-Savic, who thinks a title bid under Maurizio Sarri is a possibility in the future.

"Why not? If we play like this against the champions, why can't we go for the league?"

Milan meanwhile are 12 points behind runaway league leaders Napoli at the season's halfway point and have lost their aura as the country's top team.

Three league matches without a win have allowed Napoli to skip away practically unopposed to a huge lead, while Milan have four teams breathing down their neck for second place.

Lazio are one of three sides trailing them by a single point while in-form Atalanta are a further two points back in sixth, as the race for the top four hots up.
