Djordjevic fires Lazio past Viola

SERBIAN international Filip Djordjevic scored his fifth goal in three league games as Lazio grabbed a precious 2-0 win away to misfiring Fiorentina in Italy’s Serie A yesterday.

Fiorentina welcomed the Biancocelesti two weeks after routing Inter Milan 3-0 at home, but was left ruing several missed chances as Stefano Pioli’s visitors moved into the top five ahead of the weekend’s remaining fixtures.

Djordjevic had scored four goals in Lazio’s previous two outings, including a hat-trick away to Palermo, and grabbed his fifth in three games in the 35th minute when he smashed Antonio Candreva’s pass under Federico Marchetti’s crossbar. Senad Lulic ensured the points with a late strike.

Lazio moves up to fifth place, seven points behind leader Juventus, which dropped two points in a 1-1 draw away to bottom side Sassuolo on Saturday and now leads title challenger AS Roma by just one point.
