Samuel Chukwueze was on the scoresheet, but his goal wasn’t enough to prevent AC Milan from falling 2-1 to Lazio in Sunday’s Serie A showdown. The Nigerian winger, making his 21st appearance of the season, has now scored three goals for Milan.
Lazio opened the scoring after Pavlovic lost possession, triggering an attack down the right. Loum Tchaouna delivered the ball across, and although Mike Maignan saved Adam Marusic’s effort, Mattia Zaccagni was perfectly positioned at the back post to fire in the rebound.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Milan found an equalizer through Rafael Leão’s poolpinpoint cross from the left. Nuno Tavares completely lost track of Chukwueze, who capitalized with a powerful header off the underside of the crossbar.

The game’s decisive moment came deep into stoppage time when Maignan’s aggressive charge off his line resulted in Isaksen going down in the box. After a VAR review, a penalty was awarded, and Pedro calmly slotted home, sending Maignan the wrong way for Lazio’s dramatic victory.
