Lecce stun Lazio while Atalanta salvage draw at Spezia

Lazio remain six points behind second placed AC Milan after defeat at Lecce. Ciro Immobile had given them a half-time lead with his 189th Serie A goal, which took him above Alessandro De Piero and Beppe Signori in the all-time scoring charts. However they came unstuck after the break at the Stadio Via del mare in Italy's deep south, missing the chance to go third above Juve and being caught on 30 points by local rivals Roma, who defeated Bologna 1-0.
Gabriel Strefezza levelled for Lecce just before the hour mark after Federico Di Francesco's shot was saved by Ivan Provedel. And Di Francesco was again key when the hosts took the lead, his brilliantly volleyed cross finding Lorenzo Colombo for a tap-in which moved his team up to 12th, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Mario Pasalic snatched a last-gasp 2-2 draw for Atalanta at Spezia with a stoppage-time leveller to complete a comeback from two goals down. Spezia were leading with 13 minutes remaining thanks to first-half finishes from Emmanuel Gyasi and M'Bala Nzola, but young gun Rasmus Hojlund pulled one back and Pasalic bundled home the leveller with seconds remaining. Gian Piero Gasperini's side, who lost striker Duvan Zapata to injury, are seventh on 28 points while Spezia stay one place above the relegation zone.
Spezia are five points ahead of Sampdoria, who claimed their second win of the season, 2-1 at Sassuolo, while Verona stay bottom of the division on six points despite snapping a 10-match losing streak with their 1-1 draw at Torino.
