Check the main site for more post-match coverage. Gee, wonder what the main topic of discussion will be?

21:50 Lazio 0-1 Milan

 

21:44 Calm restored

Ridiculous game of football. Ref absolutely ruined it.

21:43 FT: Lazio 0-1 Milan

Inevitably, a brawl erupts after the final whistle too.

21:40 LAZIO DOWN TO 8 MEN

That’s really, really super harsh. Matteo Guendouzi sent off for a reaction foul on Pulisic, but there was very little in that. Very little.

21:39 Leao booked

He too will be suspended against Udinese. BEDLAM.

21:38 Red card for Marusic

Lazio down to 9! He shoved Leao mid-air, free kick given, but then Marusic must’ve said something and Di Bello showed a straight red card, so it was for dissent. Marusic looks bemused.

21:38 Cataldi wide

Cataldi scuffs the shot wide for Lazio.

21:37 The Leao offside

 

21:36 Lazio chance

Loftus-Cheek caught in possession, Immobile angled drive flashes wide of the far post!

21:35 Into stoppages

6 minutes of added time.

21:34 Another yellow

Hysaj booked for really elbowing Giroud in the back of the head. That was rude.

21:32 Lazio 0-1 Milan: Noah Okafor!

If it is possible to have a General Chaos goal, then that was it. CHAOS. Okafor finally scores at the third attempt, but first Theo Hernandez had fed Leao, pulled back for Okafor from 14 yards, shot saved by Provedel, then Gila made a decisive block on the Giroud follow-up, then Okafor again managed to fire in despite a ridiculous save from Provedel to get his hand to it.

21:30 Bayern

Lazio’s Champions League opponents Bayern Munich drew 2-2 away to Freiburg this evening.

21:29 Theo Hernandez booked

Isaksen chases down Theo Hernandez, they tussle and the Milan defender is booked. It’s bedlam, this game.

21:28 The Milan goal

Leao’s knee and half his head were offside. And Mario Gila made the deflection.

21:26 Those incidents

 

21:25 Milan subs

Kjaer and Gabbia off, Tomori returns with Thiaw.

21:25 Lazio close

Cataldi free kick goes past everyone and skims the far post.

21:24 Gabbia booked

Milan defender booked for taking down Guendouzi.

21:22 Lazio change

Cataldi on, Vecino off. Immobile booked in there somewhere.

21:20 DISALLOWED!

Rafael Leao rolled that across the face of goal, but it took at least one deflection, if not two. And it is DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE!

21:19 IMMOBILE

Incredible chance for Lazio! They counter from that save, Isaksen ball across for Immobile, crucial Kjaer block, it comes back to Isaksen and Immobile, who turns wide!

21:19 PROVEDEL!

What a save from Provedel! What a volley from Loftus-Cheek, how did he get behind that?

21:17 Milan chance

Calabria slide-rule pass finds Reijnders, who flashes it across the face of goal and Okafor is inches away from connecting!

21:16 Milan sub

Okafor replaces Adli.

21:14 Adli booked

Adli lost the ball and knew he had to make up for it, pulling back Felipe Anderson on the counter.

21:10 Zaccagni wide

Zaccagni curls wide with the inside of the right boot. It is also his last contribution before making way for Isaksen.

21:10 Milan chance

A good Milan passing move, but finished off by the weakest of Giroud pokes into the arms of Provedel.

21:08 Milan changes

Florenzi and Bennacer off, Calabria and Reijnders on.

21:07 More news

Bayern Munich now leading away to Freiburg.

21:07 For the Americans

 

21:06 Immobile header

Can’t get any power behind it, basically a back-pass to Maignan.

21:06 Florenzi booked

Florenzi booked and will be suspended for Milan against Empoli.

21:05 Pellegrini red

 

21:04 Lazio changes

Before even coming on, Immobile is having a row with Pioli.

Immobile and Hysaj on, Castellanos and Luis Alberto off.

21:03 General Chaos

Play has not resumed, Castellanos has a bloody nose and Maurizio Sarri has lost his glasses.

21:01 Luca Pellegrini sent off!

Second yellow card, but this sparks a mass scuffle between a series of players. Pellegrini thought play would be halted for a collision between Bennacer and Castellanos, was trying to protect the ball at the by-line, Pulisic stole it from him and he dragged back the Milan striker from the shirt and shoulders.

21:00 Giroud over

Milan corner to the back post, acrobatic Giroud volley is over!

20:59 It’s a bit frantic now

Series of attacks and counter-attacks and a bit of chaos and Leao cross earns a corner, but it’s all a bit frantic.

20:56 Oh dear

Positively awful Theo Hernandez free kick straight out of play.

20:55 Pellegrini booked

Guendouzi cross-shot charged down, Milan went on the counter and Pellegrini took one for the team by wiping out Pulisic. Inevitable yellow card.

20:52 Over the bar

Leao snapshot over from distance after winning back possession.

20:51 Provedel alert

He had to be, because Gila threatened an own goal getting his shin to the Leao cross.

20:50 2nd half kicks off: Lazio 0-0 Milan!

20:42 In other news

Lazio’s next opponents Bayern Munich are currently 1-1 away to Freiburg.

20:41 Special guest

 

20:34 Half-Time: Lazio 0-0 Milan

On the resulting corner, Giroud header is over the bar.

20:33 Save on Pulisic!

First Milan chance and it’s a big one, Pulisic sprints down the right, cuts inside and hits a scorcher than Provedel fingertips over the bar!

20:32 Luis Alberto raging

Luis Alberto is furious with Felipe Anderson for not being ready for his pass. Twice.

20:27 Vecino to the rescue

Pulisic had pounced on an error to attack, but Vecino blocked him off.

20:25 Save on Luis Alberto

Maignan gets it under control at the second attempt, but had spilled that low Luis Alberto effort from distance.

20:22 Pulisic over

Corner flicked on, knocked down for Pulisic to volley well over from the edge of the box.

20:22 Corner for Milan

Milan push down the right and win a corner with Adli.

20:18 Whoops

Felipe Anderson was about to go clear on the counter, but Luis Alberto fired the pass against the referee by mistake. Twice.

20:18 Milan have some respite

After the free kick and a corner, Lazio hand possession back to Milan.

20:15 Lazio aggressive

Zaccagni bursts past Florenzi, the cross is too deep, but then Loftus-Cheek slides into Vecino for a free kick just outside the area. There is a LOT of sliding around on this pitch.

20:14 Lazio corner

Taken short for Luis Alberto cross, which Maignan captures.

20:12 Problem for Gila

Mario Gila tripped and is now limping, seems to have trouble with his left ankle.

20:09 Sarri booked

Maurizio Sarri is booked and he will be suspended against Udinese due to an accumulation of yellow cards for dissent.

20:09 Florenzi into the wall

Florenzi free kick deflected by the wall, cleared by Felipe Anderson.

20:07 Milan free kick

Loftus-Cheek tries a turn just outside the area, Vecino slides in and catches both the ball and the leg. Ref gives a free kick.

20:06 Leao slips

We said the pitch was slippery, Leao tries to control with his chest and slips.

20:03 Milan attack

Cross from the right for Giroud header wide.

20:02 Lazio pushing

Milan making so many cheap errors. Kjaer is again ready to clean up on the Guendouzi assist.

19:58 Collision!

Total mess from Milan in defence, back-pass from Florenzi, Maignan manages to clear, then sliding on crashes into Castellanos while Kjaer takes the ball away. VAR and referee agree not a penalty because the ball had gone. DAZN refereeing expert Luca Marelli agrees. Fans are LIVID.

19:57 Zaccagni shot

Zaccagni snapshot from outside the area is straight at Maignan.

19:54 So close!

Oooh! Lazio corner, Felipe Anderson flicks it on with his head, Vecino prods it INCHES wide of the far post from six yards!

19:54 Lazio threaten

Guendouzi bursts down the right, pulls across for Castellanos, Kjaer has to put it out for a corner.

19:52 Big presence too

Circa 5,000 Milan fans in the Stadio Olimpico.

19:51 Aggressive Milan start

Visitors seeing more of the ball so far.

19:47 We have kick-off in Lazio vs. Milan!
