'DIZZY' LAZIO JOIN INTER AT TOP OF SERIE A

Lazio moved level on points with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A with a 3-1 win over Monza on Sunday, as pursuers AS Roma, Juventus and AC Milan all failed to keep pace.

Ten-man Roma could not keep pace as Donyell Malen’s red card overshadowed a 0-0 stalemate in Como. They now sit two points behind the leaders in third.

AC Milan were held 1-1 at Sassuolo, leaving them four points adrift of the leaders in fifth.

Surprise package Cagliari continued their impressive start to the season by holding Juventus 1-1 to remain fourth, two points above the Turin giants in sixth.

Under Gennaro Gattuso, who has bounced back after his failure at the helm of the Italian national side and missed out on the 2026 World Cup, Lazio continued their strong start to the season.

Still unbeaten, the Roman outfit secured a fifth victory in six matches to pull level on 16 points with Inter, who beat Parma 3-0 at the San Siro on Saturday.

“We can’t look at the standings, otherwise we will get dizzy. We have to take it day by day,” said Gattuso.
