Lazio move level with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A after beating Monza 3-1 on Sunday. The result extends Lazio’s strong start under Gennaro Gattuso, who leads a still-unbeaten run in the league. The Guardian and Yahoo Sports both report that Monza end up playing a large portion of the match with 10 men, and Lazio capitalize to secure their fifth win in six league games.
Elsewhere, teams chasing the leaders fail to make up ground. Yahoo Sports reports AC Milan draw 1-1 at Sassuolo, leaving them four points behind Lazio and Inter in fifth. The Guardian adds that Roma are held at Como, with the game ending goalless and described as the first scoreless draw of the Italian season. Inter, for their part, win 3-0 at home against Parma, helping maintain the tight top-of-the-table race.
