"AC Milan moved to the top of the standings last night, beating Lazio 1-0, and the newspapers obviously focused on the Rossoneri's positive run of form this morning. We have seen a lot better games from Massimiliano Allegri's men this season, but the most important thing is always to win. On top of that, Lazio didn't exactly shine either so it felt like the two sides cancelled each other out a little."
"In the end, Rafael Leao's opener in the 52nd minute was enough for the Rossoneri, but it wasn't without drama. In the dying minutes of stoppage time, Lazio appealed for a handball and as the referee went over to the VAR screen, Allegri was sent off. The referee eventually awarded a free-kick to Milan, saying that a foul was committed before the ball struck Strahinja Pavlovic's arm."
AC Milan moved to the top of the standings after a 1-0 victory over Lazio, with Rafael Leao scoring the decisive goal in the 52nd minute. Both teams produced underwhelming performances, and the match often felt like a cancellation of strengths. Late controversy arose when Lazio appealed for a stoppage-time handball; the referee consulted the VAR and Allegri was sent off. The official awarded Milan a free-kick, stating a foul occurred before the ball struck Strahinja Pavlovic's arm. The decision sparked debate, with many judging the call inappropriate for a free-kick but not sufficient for a penalty. Multiple newspapers highlighted the win and the VAR chaos.
