MILAN: (AP) - Felipe Anderson scored twice to give Lazio a 2-0 win at Torino on Monday as Stefano Pioli s side closed the gap on second-placed Roma to just one point in Serie A.

Lazio also moved three points clear of Napoli in the race for the Champions League spots as well as closing in on its city rival, which hosts Sampdoria later.

Felipe Anderson netted his double in seven second-half minutes to take his tally to eight league goals this season.

Elsewhere, two late goals helped Fiorentina come from behind to beat AC Milan 2-1, with Gonzalo Rodriguez and substitute Joaquin scoring inside the final seven minutes to cancel out Mattia Destro s opener.

Fiorentina moved a point behind Napoli, while Milan remained 10th.
