Lazio rewarded their home fans with a confident and calm 2-0 win over Sampdoria last night, a match where Luis Alberto and Patric in particular shined.
The pair both found the back of the net in the match, with Patric scoring a header in the first half to give Lazio the lead and Luis Alberto finishing a quick attacking move with a beautiful technical display to secure the result.
