Immobile leads Lazio to upset Juventus
Turin (Italy), Oct 15 (IANS) Italian football striker Ciro Immobile scored twice to lead Lazio to a come-from-behind 2-1 away victory over Juventus in a Serie A eighth-round action here.
Juventus went ahead 23 minutes into the match at Juventus Stadium on a goal by Brazilian forward Douglas Costa on Saturday, reports Efe.
But Immobile scored the first goal for Lazio just two minutes into the second half and added what proved to be the game winner seven minutes later when he converted a penalty.
Argentine forward Paulo Dybala failed to score a late equalizer when he squandered a penalty chance for Juve in stoppage time.
The away win lifts Lazio into third place provisionally with 19 points, two behind league-leading Napoli, which plays an away match later Saturday against fifth-placed Roma.
Six-time defending Italian-league champion Juventus is provisionally in second place, just ahead of Lazio based on goals differential.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
