Inter end winless run against Lazio

Inter Milan avoided setting an unwanted club record of nine league matches without a win by beating Lazio 3-1 away on Sunday after their opponents had two players sent off.

Keita Balde and Senad Lulic were dismissed in the second half as fourth-placed Lazio, already guaranteed a place in next season’s Europa League group stage, threw away an early lead. Seventh-placed Inter, who had lost six and drawn two of their previous eight league games, had already missed out on European football next season after a campaign which has seen two coaches sacked. They are now under caretaker Stefano Vecchi.
