ROME:
AC Milan took a giant step towards their first Serie A title in seven years when a late Robinho strike gave the Rossoneri a 1-0 win at Brescia and an eight-point lead with four games to go.
Sent clean through by Antonio Cassano, Robinho finished calmly eight minutes from time to give Milan a hard-earned win over relegation-threatened Brescia, who are now five points from safety. While Milan marched on, champions and city rivals Inter Milan beat Lazio 2-1 to move up to second place, ahead of Napoli who lost by the same score at Palermo, while Bari were relegated.
