Lazio shook off their draining draw with Sturm Graz in a thrilling display in Florence as they picked up a 4-0 win over Fiorentina.
The Biancocelesti were left frustrated in Austria in their Europa League clash last week but they bounced back with a much more positive display against the Viola. Lazio continue to look defensively solid and great attacking play from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Mattia Zaccagni ensured that the team looked electric going forward.
New signing Marcos Antonio was given the nod in midfield but failed to particularly impressed, but his replacement Luis Alberto again had another great showing coming off the bench.
The defensive duo of Patric and Alessio Romagnoli still look rock solid at the back and Ivan Provedel made a number of great saves to deny Fiorentina.
