Pedro wrenched Inter Milan’s title hopes out of their own hands as Lazio twice fought back to deny the reigning Serie A champions victory.
On a night when leaders Napoli could only draw 0-0 at lowly Parma, the 37-year-old substitute, who had cancelled out Yann Bisseck’s opener in the 72nd minute, repeated the feat with a last-minute penalty after Denzel Dumfries had restored the Champions League finalists’ lead to snatch a 2-2 draw at San Siro.
Antonio Conte’s men, who would have claimed the title with victory, remain a point clear and will host Cagliari next Sunday knowing the crown will be theirs if they match Inter’s result at Como.
Second-half goals from Nicolas Gonzalez and substitute Dusan Vlahovic helped Juventus to maintain their grip on fourth place after a 2-0 win over Udinese, while Gianluca Mancini, Leandro Paredes and Bryan Cristante ensured Roma remain just a point behind after a 3-1 victory against 10-man AC Milan.
At the foot of the table, Lecce gave themselves hope of avoiding the drop with a 1-0 home win over Torino courtesy of Ylber Ramadani’s strike, while Empoli are level on points with them following their 3-1 victory at relegated Monza.
However, Venezia are two points adrift of safety after a 3-0 defeat at Cagliari.
Elsewhere, there was a 3-2 win for Fiorentina over Bologna, while Hellas Verona and Como drew 1-1.
