AC Milan cruised to a 3-0 victory over 10-man Lazio on Saturday to move into third place in Serie A as they fight for a spot in next season's Champions League.
Lazio was seeking a first win at San Siro since 1989 but its chances grew slimmer when Antonio Candreva was controversially shown a straight red card after just 15 minutes.
Candreva brought down Stephan El Shaarawy on the edge of the box and was adjudged to have prevented a clear scoring opportunity.
Milan finally broke the deadlock five minutes before halftime as Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti spilled a shot and Giampaolo Pazzini pounced on the lose ball and tapped into an empty net from close range.
Marchetti did well to parry Pazzini's header from a corner, but Kevin-Prince Boateng was on hand to follow up and double Milan's lead on the stroke of halftime.
Pazzini sealed the result on the hour with a powerful, long-range strike into the bottom right corner.
"Pazzini always needs to prove himself because it's always been like that, but Pazzini is very happy, he's scored 12 goals," Pazzini said. "I thank everyone because they have put me in the best conditions to do well. We hope to still do more from now until the end of the season."
