ROME - Serie A's leading scorer Ciro Immobile converted a contentious second-half penalty to set second-placed Lazio on the way to a 2-1 comeback win over Fiorentina that kept them four points behind leaders Juventus on Saturday .

Luis Alberto grabbed the winner with seven minutes left to leave Lazio with 65 points, with Juve on 69, and keep the title race well and truly alive with 10 matches each to play. The visitors nearly added another after half-time, as Gaetano Castrovilli saw a curling shot turned away by Strakosha and Rachid Ghezzal's chip hit the crossbar.

Although replays suggested that the Ecuadorean fell before any contact was made, the referee pointed to the spot, there was no Video Assistant Referee review and Immobile sent Dragowski the wrong way.
