Lazio Coach Surprised By Margin Of Victory Over Chievo Verona

Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic admits he was shocked by the Biancocelesti’s 3-0 victory over Chievo on Sunday despite being aware that his side are capable of such results.

With city rivals Roma next up for the Biancocelesti, Petkovic refused to be drawn into talk of the derby.

Instead he focused on their upcoming match with Legia Warsaw in the Europa League on Thursday.

“This is a shock 3-0, but very important. As I said yesterday I never had any doubts.” Petkovic told Sky Sports 24.

Lazio make light work of Chievo, Fiorentina held

SS Lazio swept aside AC Chievo Verona 3-0 to record their second win of the season after ten-man ACF Fiorentina were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari Calcio.

Defeated 4-1 by Juventus last time out, Vladimir Petković's charges made the perfect start in their bid to make amends when Antonio Candreva scored after eight minutes. Luis Cavanda doubled the home team's lead seven minutes before the interval and defender Senad Lulić added the final flourish.
