Lazio’s Player Ratings for 3-3 Draw with Empoli: Milinkovic-Savic Is the Star

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was the star of the show in yesterday’s 3-3 draw with Empoli.

As collected by Italian media outlet LazioNews24 earlier today, the Italian press highly praised the performance of the 26-year-old Serbian midfielder, who scored two goals and provided one assist in the electric encounter yesterday afternoon.

Poor ratings were given to goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, who gave away a penalty after only six minutes, and full back Elseid Hysaj, whose performance was entirely forgettable.
