AC Milan welcome Lazio to the Stadio San Siro in Serie A with both sides looking to maintain their 100 percent starts to the season on Sunday night.
The international break has given Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri time to recover some starters, namely Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie. Meanwhile, Maurizio Sarri will call on Serie A topscorer Ciro Immobile who will form a trident in attack with Pedro and Felipe Anderson.
Serie A LIVE – AC Milan v Lazio – Final Score: 2-0
FULL TIME – Milan 2-0 Lazio
Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic get the goals for Milan who have nine points from nine and go joint top of Serie A. After the full time whistle Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was given a red card.
Minute 90 – Time added on
Milan are closing in on another three points as time ticks down at the San Siro. Lazio are on top for the moment, but Milan have everyone in their own half as they quell the danger.
Minute 85 – Immobile ineffective
Immobile is replaced by Muriqi in a frustrating night for the Lazio man as he never really threatened a strong Milan defence.
Minute 76 – Milan in control
No signs of a Lazio comeback just yet as Milan seem to be in complete control. Not only that, the Rossoneri are looking for a third as Ibrahimovic fires high and wide from just inside the penalty area.
Minute 67 – MILAN GOAL
It could only be him! Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores for Milan. A nice counter attack from the Rossoneri through Rebic as he raced down the left side. Then an intelligent run from Zlatan saw him free at the back post and he tapped home Rebic’s low cross. Milan 2-0 Lazio

Minute 50 – Lazio on the front foot
After going in at the break behind, Lazio are going at Milan as they seek an equaliser.
HALF TIME – Milan 1-0 Lazio
Minute 45+6 – PENALTY MILAN
It’s all happening now! Kessie goes down in the box after a challenge by Immobile, and after a VAR check the referee awards the Rossoneri a penalty. Kessie then steps up and hits the crossbar.
Minute 45 – GOAL MILAN
Just before the break Milan have the lead! Leao takes the ball from the halfway line and in the penalty area feeds Rebic, who then give it back to the Portuguese and he side foots home.

Minute 35 – Milan on top
It’s all Milan right now, though while they have the majority of possession, clear cut chances seem to be few and far between.
Minute 25 – Milan looking dangerous
Milinkovic-Savic gives the ball away 25 yards from goal but Leao can’t get the ball under control to capitalise on the mistake. While Rebic fed Calabria but the defender can only smash into the side netting. Then Leao puts a free header at the back post wide of Reina’s goal.
Minute 15 – Fired up
The game is getting spicy now. Davide Calabria has a shot blocked by Pepe Reina, while Ciro Immobile almost catches Mike Maignan off his line, but the French goalkeeper stretches to gather the ball.
Minute 5 – Pioli-ball
Forget Sarriball it’s Milan who are spraying the ball round nicely in the opening stages. While Lazio are looking to slow things down a bit. It’s all bubbling away nicely here.
18:00 Local Time – Kick off!
We are underway at the San Siro are Milan welcome Lazio.
