The Biancocelesti were furious after a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, decided by the last-gasp penalty awarded via VAR.

“It was difficult for us and we are basically missing two points. That’s in the past now and we must focus on tonight’s match,” Luiz Felipe told Mediaset Premium.

“It’s a big game, we have to be more concentrated, more careful and get the result for a boost in the table.”

While Lazio had won nine in a row in all competition until the Rome Derby defeat, they’ve now managed just two draws in their last three games.

“I don’t know what has changed, but we’ve been training well this week and need a strong performance tonight.”
