Lazio-Sassuolo 2-0: goals from Felipe Anderson and Basic, Napoli postpones the Scudetto party

After two defeats, Lazio win again and hold on to second place in the standings. Goals from Felipe Anderson at the start of the game and from Basic in the final sealed the victory against Sassuolo. Napoli must thus postpone the Scudetto party. But it will be enough for Spalletti’s team to score at least one point in Udine tomorrow night. However, Sarri’s team has to struggle a lot against Dionisi’s team who also have a good chance to equalize (especially a crossbar with Frattesi) before suffering the third stoppage in a row away.
