Lazio beat Juventus 3-0 in Turin to draw level with Inter on points

Lazio beat Juventus 3-0 in Turin on Sunday, 18 October, drawing level with Inter Milan on 19 points after seven Serie A matches, Reuters reported. Oliver Provstgaard and Gustav Isaksen scored before Fisayo Dele-Bashiru completed the away win. Lazio’s official match listing also records the 0-3 result in the seventh round of league fixtures.

How Lazio scored three at Juventus

Provstgaard put Lazio ahead in the 37th minute. After his side took a short corner on the left, the defender met Mattia Zaccagni’s cross with a glancing header, according to Reuters. The goal gave Lazio a lead they carried into the second half.

Dele-Bashiru added the third in the 89th minute. Reuters described him starting a counter-attack inside his own half, carrying the ball into the Juventus penalty area and finishing low. Home supporters jeered Juventus through to the final whistle, the report said.

What the result meant for the Serie A table

Lazio’s 19 points put them level with Inter, which had beaten Bologna 3-1 on Saturday to maintain its unbeaten start to the domestic season, according to Reuters. The result in Turin therefore kept Lazio alongside Inter on points after seven matches; it did not give Lazio sole possession of the lead.

Elsewhere on Sunday, AC Milan beat Atalanta 3-2 at home after leading 3-0. Goncalo Ramos scored a penalty in the 24th minute, Adrien Rabiot added a second before half-time and Mario Gila scored in the 57th. Gianluca Gaetano and Nikola Krstovic then pulled Atalanta within one goal, but Mike Maignan stopped Davide Zappacosta in a late one-on-one chance, Reuters reported.

Como also won away, beating Fiorentina 3-1. Mattia Liberali and Nico Paz scored around the half-hour mark, Marin Pongracic replied before the break and Anastasios Douvikas secured the result early in the second half. Reuters placed Como fifth on 14 points and Fiorentina second from bottom on four after seven matches.
