Lazio recovered from a disappointing midweek loss with a commanding victory that helped them refocus after a trying time.
Lazio bounced back from their agonising 5-1 loss to FC Midtjylland with a commanding performance in a 4-0 victory over Cremonese on the road.
The Biancocelesti humiliated themselves earlier this week at the MCH Arena in Denmark, appearing to be a shadow of their usual selves as they suffered a terrible Europa League loss, but they did not dwell on this outcome for too long..
After their defeat in Europe, Maurizio Sarri’s team needed to bounce back, and in Cremona, they did just that by dominating Cremonese 4-0. After just seven minutes, Lazio took the lead when Ciro Immobile skillfully met a through ball from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and guided his shot into the goal from the penalty spot.
After being given a penalty in the 21st minute, the Roman club doubled their lead. Immobile confidently struck the ball from 12 yards out into the bottom right corner to give his team a comfortable lead to build on.
The team was able to enter the second half with a smile on their faces thanks to Milinkovic-delightful Savic’s chip just before the halftime break.
Lazio continued to control the game in the second half, which limited Cremonese’s options in front of their home crowd. Pedro’s 4-0 goal for the away team in the 79th minute effectively ended the game.
