Milan's crisis deepens as Lazio win late and fans revolt at San Siro

AC Milan plunged deeper into crisis on Sunday after Pedro's penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time condemned the seven-time European champions to a 2-1 home defeat to Lazio in front of livid fans.

Pedro was cool from the penalty spot to fire Lazio into fourth and the Champions League places, a point ahead of Juventus who host Hellas Verona on Monday night.

The former Spain forward was given the chance to snatch the win by Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan cleaning out Gustav Isaksen just as Samuel Chukwueze's 85th-minute leveller looked like giving Milan a barely-deserved point.

Instead Sergio Conceicao's team languish in ninth place following a largely dismal home display in which Milan had to play with 10 men for over 20 minutes after Strahinja Pavlovic was sent off for chopping down Gustav Isaksen.

Mattia Zaccagni thought he had decided the match with his 10th goal of the season in all competitions but Pedro stepped up to save the day for Lazio at the last.

An eventful match was almost a sideshow to the vociferous fan protests at the San Siro, with Milan's hardcore supporters not entering the stands until the 15th minute as a demonstration of anger at performances and the direction of the club.

And when they did show up the fans offered no support for the team, instead loudly calling the players "shameful" and demanding American owners RedBird sell the club.

The boos and whistles which had crashed down from the stands got louder once Pedro slotted home his spot-kick and condemned Milan to their third defeat in little more than a week.
