Chievo 4 - 0 Lazio : Chievo crush Lazio to record their second win of the Serie A season



Posted Monday, August 31, 2015 by PA

Chievo produced a convincing performance at home and beat Lazio to pick up their second win of the season.

Riccardo Meggiorini put the hosts on their way in the 12th minute before Alberto Paloschi doubled the advantage on the half-hour mark.

Valter Birsa made it 3-0 on the stroke of half-time and Paloschi added his second of the evening in the 68th minute to cap off a wonderful evening for the Verona outfit.

The victory has lifted Chievo to the top of the standings, level on six points with Torino, Inter, Sassuolo and Palermo two games into the season.

Lazio went into the contest looking to make amends for their failure to reach the Champions League group stages.

The Romans lost 3-0 at Bayer Leverkusen in midweek for a 3-1 aggregate defeat and will play in the Europa League this season.

The visitors, 2-1 winners over Bologna in their Serie A opener, were denied an early lead when Chievo goalkeeper Albano Bizzarri made two great saves from Antonio Candreva and Keita's close-range attempts.

Chievo went in front against the run of play.

Birsa set up Meggiorini in the box and his left-footed shot took a deflection off Santiago Gentiletti to beat Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha.

Paloschi then headed in Meggiorini's pass following a corner to beat Berisha.

Before the break, Berisha could not get a touch on Birsa's powerful free-kick that found the back of the net.

The home side were not done and a fast break saw Birsa set up Paloschi in the area and his diagonal strike beat Berisha.
