Ciro Immobile also boosted his chances of clinching the top scorer award as he netted his 35th goal of the season on Wednesday, moving four clear of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Milan: Lazio maintained the pressure over Inter Milan and Atalanta for a second-place finish behind champions Juventus after beating relegated Brescia 2-0 on Wednesday, with one last round of games to be played at the weekend.

Ciro Immobile also boosted his chances of clinching the top scorer award as he netted his 35th goal of the season on Wednesday, moving four clear of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Immobile is also just one-off equaling the all-time record of 36 goals in a Serie A season, set by Gonzalo Higuain when he was at Napoli in 2015-16.

Immobile's late goal sealed the win for Lazio, which had taken the lead in the first half through Joaquin Correa.

Lazio moved level on points with Atalanta, one below second-place Inter Milan. Atalanta plays Inter in the final round of the season, when Lazio visits Napoli.
