Antonio Candreva netted twice at San Siro to help Lazio to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Serie A leader Inter on Sunday.

Antonio Candreva netted both goals as Lazio defeated Serie A leader Inter 2-1 in a contest which saw both sides reduced to 10 men at San Siro on Sunday.

With three minutes to go, the Italy international saw his spot-kick kept out by Samir Handanovic, but reacted quickly to tap home the rebound and secure the points.

Felipe Melo, who had been guilty of committing the foul which led to the penalty, then received a red card in the dying seconds of the game to make matters even worse for the home side, before Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was also dismissed deep into stoppage time.
