Giampaolo Pazzini made the most of Mario Balotelli's absence to score as AC Milan outclassed 10-man Lazio 3-0 on Saturday to go in Italy's Series A.
Lazio ended a run of five games without a win last Monday with a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Pescara. However,Vladimir Petkovic's side were reduced to 10 men on the quarter-hour when Antonio Candreva was sent off for a foul on the edge of the area.
