M. Darmian gets yellow.
S. Milinković-Savić has scored a goal for Lazio! Assist by Luis Alberto.
Darmian is now booked after bringing down Lazzari as he charged forward.
And it's 3-1 to Lazio! From the resulting free-kick Milinkovic-Savic wins his header and sends it into the left corner of the net, giving Handanovic no chance. It looks as if the hosts are on their way to a big three points.
It was a lovely delivery from the free-kick by Alberto that allowed Milinkovic-Savic to rise highest and nod home.
89'
Dumfries is now perhaps lucky to not receive a second yellow card after catching Marusic with an elbow.
87'
J. Correa gets yellow.

L. Martínez gets yellow.
D. Dumfries gets yellow.
Milinkovic-Savic is booked for his part in the melee.
A huge scuffle started immediately after the goal, and we may see the referee take some action here. It appears that Inter weren't happy that Dimarco was down during the Lazio attack and wanted the home side to put the ball out. They didn't however, and ended up scoring from the resulting assault.
Anderson also sees yellow after scoring for his actions during the scuffle.
Martinez is cautioned by the referee too.
Dumfries goes in the book for grabbing Anderson after the goal.

81'
Felipe Anderson has scored a goal for Lazio!
And Lazio lead! Immobile sees a shot parried away by Handanovic but only into the path of Anderson who easily finishes into an empty net, sending the home fans into raptures.
80'
Marusic's cross somehow goes all the way through to Handanovic, who had to be alert to get across and stop it sneaking in at the far post.
78'

Immobile converts the spot-kick! The striker does the same as Perisic did in the first half and sends the keeper the wrong way while calmly placing the ball in the bottom right to make it 1-1.
63'
A. Bastoni gets yellow.
Bastoni is booked for his handball that led to the penalty.
And now it's the hosts who have a penalty! Patric wins the header from the corner and sends it goalwards; however, it doesn't make it to the goal as it hits Bastoni's hand. The referee decides the Inter man's arm was in an unnatural position and points to the spot.
62'

60'

41'

36'
R. Gagliardini gets yellow.
Gagliardini is booked for a sliding challenge from behind on Lucas as the Brazilian ran away from him.

27'
T. Bašić gets yellow.
Basic sees yellow for bringing down Barella in midfield.

23'
Immobile tries to cleverly make space for a shot by flicking it through his own legs but he gets swarmed by defenders and the visitors clear.
22'
Dimarco wins a corner on the left-hand side, which he goes over to take. Felipe clears the resulting set-piece however.

5'
Another Lazio free-kick is played down the right before a cross is floated over, however it's far too deep and goes behind for a goal kick.
4'

3'
Pedro wins a free-kick in a dangerous position after being bundled over by Brozovic.

1'
The hosts kick us off and we are under way.
The visitors meanwhile are currently in third place and are unbeaten so far in Serie A. They have won five of their seven games and beat Sassuolo 2-1 in their last game.
LAZIO (4-3-3): Pepe Reina; Adam Marusic, Luiz Felipe, Patric, Elseid Hysaj; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Toma Basic; Pedro, Ciro Immobile, Felipe Anderson.
The two sides make their way onto the pitch.
The home side head into this game in sixth position in the league, just outside the European places. They were thrashed 3-0 away at Bologna last time out but did win their previous Serie A game, a 3-2 success over big rivals Roma.
INTER (3-5-1-1): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini, Federico Dimarco; Ivan Perisic; Edin Dzeko.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of this Serie A clash between Lazio and Inter at the Stadio Olimpico.
SUBS: Thomas Strakosha, Stefan Radu, Denis Vavro, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Luis Alberto, Danilo Cataldi, Gonzalo Escalante, Manuel Lazzari, Mattia Zaccagni, Raul Moro, Vedat Muriqi, Marius Adamonis.
SUBS: Alex Cordaz, Ionut Radu, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Denzel Dumfries, Aleksandar Kolarov, Andrea Ranocchia, Hakan Calhanoglu, Matias Vecino, Joaquin Correa, Lautaro Martinez, Martin Satriano.
The scoreline sets us up for an exciting second half as the hosts look to find their way back into this game. They can probably count themselves unlucky to be going into the break facing a deficit, and will look to ramp the pressure up even more in their search for an equaliser. Will Sarri make a change at the break to help them do so?
Thanks for joining me for this coverage of Lazio's 3-1 win over Inter in Serie A.
The win for the hosts sends them up to fifth, three points behind their opponents in this match and just a point behind city rivals Roma. For the visitors, they miss out on the chance to at least briefly go above their own rivals Milan and remain in third. Sarri's men will play away to Verona next time out in Serie A, while Inter will host Juventus in a big fixture in their next league game.
