Football: Lazio held, Udinese grab win

MILAN: Lazio were lucky to escape with a share of the points from a lacklustre scoreless draw away to Bologna which left them three points behind third-placed Napoli in Serie A on Monday. Lazio went into their 16th match of the campaign unbeaten in their last four fixtures and with a clean sheet in the last three away games. But their bid to edge closer to the top three and pull three points clear of city rivals Roma were undone by an enterprising Bologna side which dominated the second half and were unlucky not to secure all three points.
