Representation pic

Lazio shot 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.
