MILAN (AP) — Lazio has boosted its hopes of qualifying for the Champions League by winning 2-0 at relegation-threatened Sassuolo for its first win of the new year. Mattia Zaccagni converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time and Felipe Anderson sealed the result right at the end. Lazio moved to within three points of Inter Milan and Juventus and the final Champions League qualifying spots. Atalanta and Roma can move back level with Lazio with wins over Salernitana and Fiorentina later. It was Sassuolo’s sixth defeat in its past seven matches and left it seven points above the relegation zone.
