Strahinja Pavlovic was shown a straight red card for his lunging tackle on Gustav Isaksen, reducing Milan to 10 men against Lazio at San Siro.

See how it all unfolds on the Liveblog.

The Aquile were leading 1-0 through a Mattia Zaccagni sliding finish at the back post on the rebound from Mike Maignan’s save on Adam Marusic.

As they were pushing to get back into the game, Milan were caught on the counter-attack by Matteo Guendouzi sending Isaksen through, brought down by Pavlovic.

Gianluca Manganiello opted for a straight red card, which DAZN refereeing expert Luca Marelli mused was less due to DOGSO (Denial of a Goal Scoring Opportunity) and more for the violent conduct of the foul, as it caught Isaksen on the ankle.
