Lazio came back to beat visiting AC Milan 3-1 and move into third place in Serie A on Saturday.

Jeremy Menez put Milan ahead four minutes in at the Stadio Olimpico but Lazio — which has lost only once in eight matches — stormed back in the second half with goals from Marco Parolo in the 47th and 81st and Miroslav Klose in the 51st.

Klose also set up Parolo's equalizer.

Lazio moved one point ahead of Napoli, which hosts Genoa on Monday.

Milan remained 10th.

Earlier, coach Gianfranco Zola's Cagliari beat visiting Sassuolo 2-1 to register a second consecutive home win for the first time since April 2013.
