Lazio fight back at Udinese to stay perfect in Serie A
Gennaro Gattuso's side joins Roma and Inter Milan as one of three teams with 100% records after a 2-1 win.
Lazio maintained their perfect record in Serie A with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium. Albert Gudmundsson earned the winning goal in the 88th minute, becoming the first player to score against Lazio this season.
The Swede, Jesper Karlstrom, opened the scoring just four minutes into the second half, backheeling the ball to elude the defense and fire past goalkeeper Christos Mandas. Lazio had previously won both of their opening matches with goals by Davide Frattesi, who added a third goal of his own after 75 minutes.
Mattia Zaccagni nearly secured the win for Lazio after 75 minutes with a low cross that Frattesi headed past the crossbar. However, Gazzino replaced Frattesi with Gudmundsson in the 80th minute, and the English forward capitalized on a left flank exploit by Danilho Doekhi four minutes later, stretching his head to head the ball into the net.
