Lazio Often Prove Fatal in the Dying Minutes of Matches Under Sarri: The Precedent

Lazio refuse to give up under coach Maurizio Sarri and this is evident when looking at their goals scored in extra time this season.

The Biancocelesti have always had a strong mentality and they regularly salvaged points in the dying minutes of games under previous coach Simone Inzaghi. Clearly the change of backroom staff has not changed anything as the Roman club continue to remain fired up until the end.
