The late kick-off at 8.45 pm on matchday three of Serie A ended with yet another match turned on its head in the final minutes – or thereabouts. Lazio won 2-1 away at Udinese and secured their third consecutive victory in as many matches at the start of the season. The Biancocelesti have now collected 9 points, joining Roma and Inter at the top of the table.
After a goalless first half lacking in spark, the second half began with the home side taking the lead: Jesper Karlström, set up by Davis, found the net in the 49th minute. The equaliser came in the 75th minute through Davide Frattesi, who slotted home a cross into the centre of the box. In the 88th minute, Albert Gudmundsson completed the comeback, getting his Biancocelesti career off to the best possible start. Udinese threw everything at it during the five minutes of added time awarded by the referee, but to no avail: it was Gennaro Gattuso’s men who were celebrating.
