Lazio thrash Juventus 0-3 at the Allianz Stadium and stay top alongside Inter

Lazio beat Juventus 0-3 at the Allianz Stadium in matchday seven of Serie A, according to Sky Sport’s live coverage. The goals for the Rome side carry the signatures of Provstgaard, Isaksen and Dele-Bashiru, three different players for three goals that settled the match and left no room for a reaction from the home side.

With this result Lazio remain top of the Serie A standings alongside Inter, with a record of 6 wins and 1 draw in 7 matches played. It is a near-perfect return in this early part of the season, placing the Rome club at the summit of the league level with the Milan side.

On the other side, the defeat weighs heavily on Juventus, who after the match find themselves 8 points off the top. The Juventus coach commented on the team’s performance with words that leave no room for excuses:

“Without rhythm and ideas I have no explanations” — Juventus coach, the Turin side’s manager

The statement, as brief as it is blunt, captures a team that, according to its own coach, failed to produce either the rhythm or the ideas needed to compete with a Lazio side that instead found three different scorers over the course of the same match.

The 8-point gap from the top, seven matchdays into the season, represents an already significant margin at this stage of the campaign. For Lazio, by contrast, the away win confirms a solid start to the season, marked by a run of results that keeps them level with Inter at the top of the table.

It remains to be seen how Juventus will respond in the coming rounds to such a heavy defeat in a match that, given the historic rivalry between the two clubs, carried weight beyond the mere standings. For Lazio, the aim will be to confirm in the coming matches the rhythm shown in this seventh round, as they try to keep pace with Inter in the race for the top.
