Lazio beat Venezia 2-0 and move ahead of Roma and Inter in Serie A

Lazio bounced back in Serie A this Saturday. At the ground of newly promoted Venezia, coach Gennaro Gattuso’s side were the better team and secured a 2-0 win.

Five matchdays, big statement

As L'Équipe reports, the victory came on the fifth matchday and is significant because of the timing. AS Roma and Inter had drawn earlier, with L'Équipe noting that it happened “a few hours after their 2-2 at the Olimpico.”

That is why Lazio’s result matters: it doesn’t just add three points, it pushes them into the top spot, leaving Roma and Inter in the chase.

So the early table reshuffle is clear—Lazio deliver on the pitch, enter the lead, and keep the pressure on the teams around them heading into the next round of fixtures.
