Mussolini's Great-Grandson Scores His First Goal for Lazio
Lazio stayed unbeaten and moved three points clear of Inter Milan after scoring six goals despite two missed penalties.
On Saturday, AS Roma secured a 3-3 draw at Napoli after trailing twice, with Leonardo Balerdi's late header preserving Roma's unbeaten Serie A run while leaving Napoli ninth on 11 points.
Following his dismissal for dissent, Napoli head coach Massimiliano Allegri received a two-match suspension on Monday; the disciplinary authority cited "abusive remarks" and "aggressive attitude" toward officials.
Napoli's Frank Anguissa opened scoring with a bicycle kick and Scott McTominay added a brace, but Balerdi's 89th-minute equalizer denied the hosts victory after VAR cleared a controversial clash involving Sam Beukema.
On Tuesday, Lazio moved provisionally top of Serie A by routing 10-man Sassuolo 6-2, with Romano Floriani scoring his first league goal and Tijjani Noslin adding a brace.
Lazio sit joint-top with 22 points, three ahead of Inter Milan, who visit bottom-placed Venezia on Wednesday; the Biancocelesti remain unbeaten under Gennaro Gattuso, conceding only five goals in eight matches.
