AC Milan squandered a golden opportunity to close the gap at the top of Serie A as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Lazio on Sunday after Gustav Isaksen struck in the first half, leaving the visitors eight points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan, Reuters reported.
Milan had the chance to close in on their city rivals after Inter were held to a 1-1 home draw by Atalanta on Saturday but failed to capitalise in a match that saw them struggle to assert control. The defeat was Milan's first away loss in the league this season.
The hosts pushed forward and Daniel Maldini set up Kenneth Taylor, whose powerful effort struck the crossbar in the 25th minute, according to Reuters.
