    Time:90'
    • Lazio
    • Milan
    • 90' No injury-time played as the match ends 3-0 to Milan. The Lazio fans whistle the result - Milan go second ahead of Juventus and sit six points behind leaders Inter.
    • 90' Jankulovski with a wild shot late on. Ronaldinho is not going to get on to the pitch - what has happened to him in the last couple of years?
    • 86' Milan changes: Andriy Shevchenko and Matteo Darmian on for Kaka and Zambrotta.
    • 85' Beckham sends a ball through for Kaka. The flag is up, but the Brazil star was level when the ball was played.
    • 83' MILAN HAVE A THIRD!! Kaka showed enterprise to play the ball quickly to Seedorf and go for the return pass; the Dutchman slipped a ball through - and he finished low into the bottom corner. Game over.
    • 81' Seedorf, going about his linking business with little fuss, gives the ball to Beckham on the right. His low sidefooted cross takes a deflection into the arms of the waiting Muslera.
    • 78' Inzaghi with space to shoot inside the Milan box... with Senderos tracking his effort is saved. They have to score soon if they are to get back into this game.
    • 77' Goldenballs looks to play Kaka in on the floor, but the pass is intercepted.
    • 76' Beckham tracking back to jockey and thwart Lazio. He is keeping wide today.
    • 73' Beckham with a delicate chipped ball through for Kaka to bear down on goal... Pato is square but the former Man City target looks keen to go alone... he hits the outside of the post!! That would have been another assist for Becks had he scored!!
    • 72' Inzaghi marginally offside. Lazio not threatening at present.
    • 71' Beckham involved in a couple of Milan passing moves as they seek to keep the ball. He looks fit and able to get up and down the right.
    • 68' Pato this time free to run at goal on the right, looking up and opting to go himself... but he too overruns the ball - and Muslera gathers again!! If Lazio come back, Milan will look back on these chances and kick themselves.
    • 66' Lazio change: Simone Inzaghi on for Meghni.
    • 65' Kaka bursts through on goal, but overruns the ball - allowing Uruguayan Muslera to come out quickly and save.
    • 61' Beckham plays Zambrotta down the right... his cross is attacked by Kaka - David Rozehnal knocks it away with his hand, but the referee does not award a penalty!! Milan are not happy.
    • 56' Gianluca Zambrotta races half the length of the field to tackle the attacking Zarate. Good challenge.
    • 56' Touch for Becks - he passes inside three yards to Ambrosini. He executed it well.
    • 53' Milan content to sit back and soak up pressure. No real surprise there.
    • 50' Meghni with a low shot from the edge of the box that Abbiati tips round the post. Lazio deserve better than to be losing 2-0 here.
    • 48' GOAL!! Becks does it again!! He swings a free-kick from the right wing to the far post and Ambrosini is there to head in and double Milan's lead!!
    • 46' The second half gets underway.
    • 45+2' The Beckham-Milan success story continues then at half-time in this match. Just when you think he's not involved he reminds you that he's still a very good player. Forza Becks!!
    • 45+1' Beckham pops up on the left and shifts the ball on to his right foot; he curls in a fantastic cross FOR PATO TO HEAD HOME!!! But it is disallowed - he was just offside!! It was so close.
    • 45' Pandev heads down but there is no one to finish it off as Lazio continue to look for an immediate reply; Francelino Matuzalem is then booked for nipping a counter-attack in the bud with a foul.
    • 44' Zarate denied by Abbiati as he lets fly with a low strike. He tipped the ball just past the post.
    • 43' Becks held his line on the right wing and sprung the offside trap - it was touch and go, to be truthful - to latch on to a Kaka pass and square with pace for the young Brazilian to bang home past Muslera. So much for a lack of involvement!!
    • 42' GOAL FOR MILAN!! PATO FINISHES BRILLIANTLY INSIDE THE NEAR POST!! AND GUESS WHO CROSSED IT - THAT MAN DAVID BECKHAM!!
    • 40' Pirlo with a first-time chipped pass over the top for the electric Pato to chase; he is just too late again. Milan need a little more incision. Beckham hasnÂ’t had the chance to attack too much so far, despite a few moments of involvement.
    • 36' Pandev wins the ball on the right and attacks the Milan backline; he plays a lovely ball with the outside of his left foot through for Zarate, who tries to round Abbiati... great block from the keeper - and Pandev following up finds the side-netting. That is now the closest we have come. Lazio the more dangerous of the teams so far.
    • 35' The tricky Zarate feeds a low cross for Pandev to control, turn and shoot... just high and wide!! The closest we have come so far.
    • 32' Kaka comes inside to shoot well wide of the near post.
    • 31' Pato sprints through to almost nick the ball past the Lazio keeper... Kaka is there to pick up the pieces but cannot fire a shot on target.
    • 30' Beckham the victim of a late challenge on the right wing; no foul awarded. On first viewing it looked like one his favoured 'Bambi on ice' efforts, but replays suggest he was caught quite badly.
    • 28' Backs bends a dangerous cross for Pato to attack - Muslera comes to punch under the pressure and connects well with the ball.
    • 27' Fans of Playstation and X-Box may be interested to know that Lazio, whose cool sky blue shirt is unadorned by sponsorship, were sponsored by Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer for one match before Christmas. Your humble narrator is the pick of the Eurosport office Pro Evo masters, for what that's worth...
    • 24' Mourad Meghni standing with the ball on the edge of the box... there are many Milan players in front of him but he moves it about before flicking through for Zarate - and the youngster's low, instinctive shot is saved by Christian Abbiati at the near post. Great skills.
    • 21' Zarate whips it over the bar. Not even close.
    • 20' Philippe Senderos, on loan from Arsenal, fouls in the final third. The Zarate kid lines it up...
    • 17' Ambrosini booked for a foul on Pandev.
    • 16' Ledesma hits a shot from distance over the top. The Lazio captain caught it sweetly.
    • 14' Quick feet from our boy Becks on the right flank to feed kaka inside... the ball comes out to Ambrosini, who has space, but the move dies out.
    • 13' Becks brings the ball out of defence and with few options pings a ball down the right flank for Pato to chase. The only problem is that it goes out of play.
    • 11' Pato with a wasteful pass across the park after doing well to win possession. He is another in red-hot form. Jankulovski hits a shot wide of the near post from distance.
    • 10' It is too low from the former England captain and cleared for a throw-in.
    • 9' Cristian Ledesma fouls Becks on the left in the final third. This is a good range for a bending free-kick...
    • 8' Beckham's kick is headed away as the ref blows up for a foul by the attacking side.
    • 7' A clever move from Milan as Kaka tees up Marek Jankulovski, who forges a way through the home defence and shoots from an angle... tipped over by Fernando Muslera!!
    • 4' Mauro Zarate - remember him from Birmingham's ill-fated relegation fight last season? - scampers forward and unleashes a shot over the bar. He's been excellent this season for the Roman club.
    • 3' Becks with a raking ball across the field that is intercepted by Lazio.
    • 1' Beckham fouled by Stefan Radu inside the first minute. He dusts himself off.
    • 1' The first half begins, Milan kicking from right to left.
    • - The players emerge and prepare for kick-off. Lazio are 10th in the table, knowing that a run of form would put them in contention for a European spot - they have lost 4-1 and 3-1 in their last two matches and not won in three.
    • - Ronaldinho is on the bench for the Rossoneri, who also boast Andrea Pirlo, Massimo Ambrosini, Clarence Seedorf and Kaka behind Pato as well as Becks. Not too shabby.
    • - Beckham in the starting line-up, as you might expect given that he has scored two goals recently. His free-kick against Genoa was sublime.
    • - David Beckham's temporary home - perhaps - Milan are looking to go second in the table ahead of Juventus. To do that they will need a win, which would put them six points behind city rivals Internazionale.
