AC Milan’s troubles deepened on Sunday despite Samuel Chukwueze’s late equaliser, as Pedro’s stoppage-time penalty handed Lazio a 2-1 victory at the San Siro, plunging the Rossoneri further into crisis.
Chukwueze looked to have rescued a point for Milan with his 85th-minute strike, cancelling out Mattia Zaccagni’s opener.
However, Lazio snatched all three points dramatically after goalkeeper Mike Maignan fouled Gustav Isaksen, allowing Pedro to convert from the spot in the 98th minute.

The defeat marks Milan’s third loss in eight days, leaving them in ninth place and adding to the frustration of their supporters, who staged a silent protest for the first 15 minutes of the game before turning on both the players and the club’s owners.
Milan’s misery was compounded by Strahinja Pavlovic’s red card in the second half, forcing them to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men.
