Lazio dismantled Como by five goals to one to extend their positive run and climb to fifth place in the Serie A standings.
Pedro & Taty Castellanos Share ‘Man of the Match’ Honors
Taty Castellanos broke the deadlock from the spot while Pedro sent the visitors to the half-time break with a two-goal cushion. The Lariani pulled one back through Luca Mazzitelli, but the Biancocelesti scored three more courtesy of Patric, Castellanos and Loum Tchaouna to seal a 5-1 win.
The major Italian newspapers all agreed that Castellanos and Pedro were the best two performers at the Stadio Sinigaglia. The duo received 7.5/10 grades on most accounts, in addition to an 8/10 for each.
Patric, Boulaye Dia & Nuno Tavares Also Shine
Patric wasn’t too far behind, earning a rating of 7/10. The same goes for Boulaye Dia who came off the bench to produce two assists. And despite receiving his marching orders, Nuno Tavares still earned average marks, especially after consolidating his lead in the Serie A assist charts by creating Pedro’s goal.
