Lazio falter in push for Serie A top four

Alessio Romagnoli levelled 10 minutes later after the goal was given following a VAR check for offside. Matias Vecino nodded on a corner kick from the right and the veteran Uruguay defender appeared at the back post to poke home his first goal of the season.

The result means both sides extended their unbeaten league runs to six games, but Lazio remain 10 points behind leaders Inter Milan and one behind Juventus, who lost at home to third-placed Atalanta 4-0 at the weekend.

Udinese remain 10th, and 10 points adrift of Italy's sixth and final spot for Europe next season.
