Milinkovic-Savic's header slipped into the Lecce goal in the 94th minute, giving Lazio a draw after falling down early in the second half to two goals from Remi Oudin. With just one victory in their previous five games, Maurizio Sarri's team has dropped to third place in Italy's premier division and has ceded second place to Juventus. "Because it was the equaliser, there was an angry celebration. It would have been better if it had been the winner, according to Milinkovic-Savic.
Lazio are now keeping an eye on the top four teams after initially seeming likely to qualify for the Champions League. They have a four-point lead over Milan, who are in fifth position and will be visiting Spezia on Saturday. If Inter Milan defeats Sassuolo in the San Siro, they will tie Juve for second place with 66 points.
