His goal came at the end of a hugely eventful match which Lazio thought they had drawn when Pedro crashed home a sumptuous volley with two minutes remaining to cancel out a superb 62nd-minute opener from Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne’s first goal from open play this season banished the boos which accompanied his substitution during Thursday’s 4-2 thumping by Barcelona.
Fabian’s strike ensured that Luciano Spalletti’s side capitalised perfectly on both Milan and champions Inter, who sit two points back in third but with a game in hand, only managing to draw with relegation threatened opposition on Friday evening.
