European roundup: Lazio make Napoli wait for Serie A title, Inter win 6-0

Goals by Felipe Anderson and Toma Basic earned Lazio a 2-0 home win over Sassuolo in Serie A, sending Maurizio Sarri’s side back to second place and delaying runaway leaders Napoli’s title celebrations.

There was confusion after eight minutes at the Stadio Olimpico when Ciro Immobile was first awarded a goal after a lengthy VAR check, only for it to be disallowed moments later. However, there was no doubt six minutes laterwhen Marcos Antonio scooped the ball over the top and Anderson finished well past Andrea Consigli.

At the end of the first half, Davide Frattesi hit the crossbar from a tight angle as Sassuolo searched for an equaliser, and the result was still in doubt until two minutes into stoppage time at the end of the match when the substitute Basic tapped home a cross.

Milan stumbled against relegation-threatened Cremonese at San Siro. David Okereke gave the visitors the lead before Junior Messias equalised with a free-kick three minutes into stoppage time, ending the match 1-1. And by cancelling out Stephan El Shaarawy’s opener with a stunning Luca Caldirola volley, Monza dented Roma’s push for a top-four finish with a 1-1 draw at home.

The visitors saw Assan Ceesay’s early goal ruled out for offside, before Paredes gave the hosts
