Stefano Pioli celebrated Lazio’s “deserved” 3-0 win at Sassuolo and said this bodes well for the future.

“I think we played well and it was a deserved victory,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“We ran a few risks at the back, but should’ve already had the points wrapped up before half-time.

Stefano Pioli celebrated Lazio’s “deserved” 3-0 win at Sassuolo and said this bodes well for the future.

“I think we played well and it was a deserved victory,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“We ran a few risks at the back, but should’ve already had the points wrapped up before half-time.

“Are we tempted to use three creative players behind a centre-forward? Of course, but the quality and spirit of the players makes the difference and three in midfield provide solidity.

“The team works all week and puts that into practice during a match situation. This is an important win and can help us make that step up in quality we need.

“Only Fiorentina and Napoli had won here, so it’s not easy to beat Sassuolo on their own turf.”

Pioli said Lazio are building towards a Scudetto challenge in future, so what more do they need to get there?

“Planning and consistency. We are just at the start and laid down some solid foundations, so we want to do well in Serie A and the Coppa Italia.”
