They might be the defending champions, but one thing’s for sure – they won’t defend that title!AC Milan are looking woeful after the World Cup break, and the deterioration is nowhere near its end. On Tuesday night, Lazio bulldozed them with a 4-0 home win, making it really comfortable for Napoli to continue their quest for the first Scudetto since 1990.Halfway through the Serie A season: Napoli—50 Milan—38 Lazio—37Inter—37 Roma—37 Napoli haven’t won the league since Diego Maradona led them there in the 1989-90 season ⏪ pic.twitter.com/LgG57tjsrK— B/R Football (@brfootball) January 24, 2023 It took Lazio barely four minutes to break through as Zaccagni curled it from the left, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic sweeping it smoothly into the near bottom corner.The hosts doubled their lead when Pedro’s cross ricocheted into the path of Zaccagni for a 2-0 lead.The reigning champions were deplorable in the offence, while Maurizio Sarri’s side kept pushing for the third. It came from the spot, thanks to Luis Alberto, after Kalulu’s awfully-timed tackle brought down Pedro to the ground.Finally, Lazio added a fourth with a quality team goal. Zaccagni got away from Calabria on the left flank again and pulled back for Luis Alberto, whose beautiful disguised pass released Felipe Anderson to score from eight yards.SERIE ASaturdayHellas Verona – Lecce 2-0 (1-0)/Depaoli 40, Lazovic 54/Salernitana – Napoli 0-2 (0-1)/Di Lorenzo 45+3, Osimhen 48/Fiorentina – Torino 0-1 (0-1)/Miranchuk 33/SundaySampdoria – Udinese 0-1 (0-0)/Ehizibue 88/Monza – Sassuolo 1-1 (0-1)/Caprari 60 – Ferrari 13/Spezia – Roma 0-2 (0-1)/El Shaarawy 45, Abraham 49/Juventus – Atalanta 3-3 (2-1)/Di Maria 25, Milik 34, Danilo 65 – Lookman 4, 53, Maehle 46/MondayBologna – Cremonese 1-1 (0-0)/Vlad Chiriches 55 (og) – Okereke 50/Inter – Empoli 0-1 (0-0)/Baldanzi 66/TuesdayLazio – Milan 4-0 (2-0)/Milinkovic-Savic 4, Zaccagni 38, Luis Alberto 67 pen, Anderson 75/
