Tiemoue Bakayoko has been a hit at the San Siro this season
Prior to kick-off, around 50 Lazio supporters displayed a banner reading ‘Honour to Benito Mussolini’ – the Italian fascist dictator.
Racist chants of ‘this Banana is for Bakayoko’ were believed to be heard from fans throughout the clash.
Lazio released a statement condemning the vile abuse.
It read: “SS Lazio clearly distance ourselves from behaviour and manifestations that do not in any way correspond to the values of sport that this club has promoted and supported for 119 years.
“Lazio also reject and contest the simplistic tendency of the media to consider the entire Lazio fanbase responsible for the actions of a few isolated elements, for motivation that has nothing to do with passion for sport.

“I just want to finish the season in fourth place, then we’ll think about it.â€
Gennaro Gattuso, the Milan coach, downplayed rumours Bakayoko will turn down a permanent switch ahead of Sunday’s defeat by Torino.
“He is on good form,” said Gattuso. “Those horrible songs hurt but he was prepared for them. he behaved admirably and he did not lose his head.
“He looks in good form, that he wants to leave is something [the media] are saying. He’s had a good season and he feels good in Italy.”
