The Lazio players faced jeers from their own supporters, but they overcame a recent losing streak by defeating Salernitana 4-1 on Friday to move up to seventh place in the Italian league. Before the game, supporters of the capital club held a banner that said, "You Are Not Worthy Of Wearing Our Shirt," following defeats to rivals Juventus and Roma.
Despite being missing many key players, including Ciro Immobile and Matteo Guendouzi, recently hired coach Igor Tudor's club showed resilience and went up 2-0 in just 14 minutes against a team that hadn't won a game since December of last year. Ten minutes before the half, Anderson completed a deft passing play to restore the two-goal lead. Loum Tchaouna had pulled one back for the visitors two minutes earlier with a strong header. Moments after replacing the other players, Danish winger Gustav Isaksen sealed the rout three minutes from the end.
