Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi admits defeat at AC Milan was a heavy title blow.

It leaves them seven points adrift of Serie A leaders Juventus and the Scudetto dreams are drifting out of reach.

“This defeat weighs on us in the table, but we knew that there were some objective difficulties today. We weren't very fortunate either, as we conceded a goal with a deflection, another on a penalty that Thomas Strakosha almost saved," Inzaghi told DAZN.

“Then we had two chances to get it back on track, only to concede the third goal. Unfortunately, I can't rotate the squad right now, so playing four games in under two weeks becomes difficult.

“We've got to look forward and prepare for the next match. We know the journey we have taken and have no intention of letting go. We'll probably lose Correa to injury for the next one, we must try to rotate a little, because these lads are now very tired."
