Lazio record their fifth consecutive victory with a 2-1 win over Udinese

Lazio has claimed another victory in Serie A  after a 2-1 win at Udinese on Wednesday. The visitors took the lead in the 60th minute when Udinese goalkeeper Simone Scuffet could only parry Luis Alberto’s free kick and Francesco Acerbi volleyed in the rebound from close range for his first goal for the club.

Lazio midfielder Joaquin Correa also netted his first Lazio goal six minutes later. The Argentine beat Jens Stryger Larsen on the left of the penalty area, leaving the Denmark international on his backside, and slotted into the far corner from a tight angle.

Lazio then had a shaky final 10 minutes after Udinese centre back Bram Nuytinck’s overhead kick was deflected into the back of the net by Milan Badelj.

There will be another big match this weekend, with Juventus welcoming Napoli. Juventus, the only Serie A team with a perfect record, hosts Bologna later on Wednesday, while Napoli entertains Parma.
