Milan: <\/strong> Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic brace helped AC Milan beat Roma 2-1 at home to extend their lead in the Italian Serie A to seven points.<\/p>\n

Ibrahimovic converted a penalty before adding a late headed goal as the league leaders also put a dent on the Europa League hopes of the visitors.<\/p>\n

But Milan, who now lead Juventus by seven points in the table, had looked on course to pay for a string of misses in the first half as Pablo Osvaldo gave the visitors the lead just before half-time against the run of play Saturday.<\/p>\n

Lifted by that goal Roma went on the attack but were thwarted by two goals by Ibrahimovic in the second half.<\/p>\n

Roma head coach Luis Enrique reckoned Ibrahimovic was decisive in Milan’s fight-back.<\/p>\n

“It was a good game. Ibrahimovic was decisive in the second half, but we played a complete match. I think my central defenders did very well, as Ibrahimovic is extremely difficult to mark,” he said.<\/p>\n

In the other kick-off of the day, Udinese rescued a late point in a 1-1 draw at Palermo to move level with Lazio in third place.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Torje cancelled out Fabrizio Miccoli’s first half goal in the 84th minute to keep Francesco Guidolin’s side in the hunt for a place in the Champions League next season. (IANS)<\/p>\n
