Milan breathed new life into their Serie A challenge with their superb 2-1 triumph over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Brazilians Thiago Silva and Alexandre Pato both netted in the first half to set up victory for Milan, who move to within six points of rivals Inter at the top of Serie A.
Leonardo’s side have shown signs that they are gelling in recent weeks, taking four points off Real Madrid in the Champions League, and they produced a very professional display at Lazio.
Boasting a supply line of Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Seedorf and Pato, the Rossoneri always look like scoring, while their defence was imperiously led by Alessandro Nesta.
