Player Ratings: Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan – Rough Day for Romagnoli & Dele-Bashiru
Player Ratings: Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan – Rough Day for Romagnoli & Dele-Bashiru On Saturday, Inter Milan prevailed over Lazio in the first of their back-to-back clashes at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. While Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final is certainly the more significant, the Nerazzurri consolidated their pychological edge by putting three unanswered goals past the the Biancocelesti , who were reduced to 10 men in the second period. Lautaro Martinez scored the first and set up the second for Petar Sucic, while Henrick Mkhitaryan placed the final touch on the Italian champions’ rooting victory.
So here are our player ratings for Lazio, who suffered what could be a demoralizing league victory against Inter. Lazio XI (4-3-3) Edoardo Motta – 6. 5 The young goalkeeper conceded three goals, but none was his fault.
On the contrary, he helped Lazio avoid a more devastating result by producing solid saves on Andy Diouf and Yann Bisseck. Adam Marusic – 4. 5 A disappointing outing from the veteran right-back, who lost track of Lautaro on the opening goal, and allowed Mkhitaryan to dribble past him on the third.
Mario Gila – 5. 5 The Spaniard’s return to action was great news for Lazio ahead of the cup final, but he only played 55 minutes. While he had his moments, he couldn’t react in time to block Lautaro’s opener.
Alessio Romagnoli – 4 The former AC Milan captain was already struggling to cope with the speed of Inter’s attackers, and he left his team down a man after catching Yoan Bonny with a studs-up challenge. Luca Pellegrini – 5. 5 A mixed bag from the left-back, who was beaten in the air by Thuram on the opener and looked clumsy with the ball at times, but also made important contributions, like putting Isaksen through on goal with a sublime pass.
