Inter Milan have maintained third place in Serie A thanks to Mauro Icardi's last-gasp header in a 1-0 win over arch-rivals AC Milan at San Siro.

The Nerazzurri had to wait until the second minute of stoppage time to break the deadlock but Icardi's close-range finish from Matias Vecino's cross extended Inter's winning league run to five games.

AC Milan started brightly, with Suso drilling wide from 25 yards early on and Hakan Calhanoglu volleying off target shortly afterwards.

Inter sprang into life when Ivan Perisic's header forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into a save, and they almost took the lead after 34 minutes when Stefan de Vrij hooked an effort onto the post.

Vecino also had a fine chance to break the deadlock as the first half drew to a close, but he fired over from 10 yards when well placed.

Opportunities were few and far between in the second half, with Matteo Politano firing a volley over for the Nerazzurri on the hour mark.

Suso wasted AC Milan's best chance in the 80th minute when he tamely shot at Samir Handanovic before Inter captain Icardi struck in added time.

Lazio also left it late but picked up their seventh win in nine league games with a 2-0 victory at Parma.

Ciro Immobile broke the deadlock with an 81st-minute penalty after Valon Berisha went down in the box, and Joaquin Correa sealed the three points in added time.

Chievo remain rock bottom as Josip Ilicic inspired Atalanta to a 5-1 victory with a hat-trick at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

The hosts had Federico Barba sent off after 40 minutes but by that time Atalanta were already 2-0 up thanks to goals from Marten de Roon and Ilicic.

Slovenia star Ilicic went on to complete his treble with two goals in two minutes at the start of the second period.

Robin Gosens added a fifth for the visitors before Valter Birsa grabbed a consolation for Chievo with an 84th-minute penalty.

In other matches Bologna and Torino drew 2-2, Fiorentina shared the spoils with Cagliari 1-1 while Empoli earned a point against Frosinone in a 3-3 away draw.
