The capital club came into the match on the back of losses
to rivals Juventus and Roma and fans displayed a banner reading “You Are Not
Worthy Of Wearing Our Shirt” before the game.
Recently appointed coach Igor Tudor was without a number of
top players, Ciro Immobile and Matteo Guendouzi among them, but the home side
showed character and was 2-0 up within 14 minutes against a team that has not
won a game since December last year.
Felipe Anderson opened the scoring with a solo goal after
just six minutes and then MatÃas Vecino doubled Lazio’s lead eight minutes
later.
Loum Tchaouna pulled one back for the visitors two minutes
later with a powerful header but Anderson restored the two-goal cushion when he
finished off an intricate passing move 10 minutes before the break.
Danish winger Gustav Isaksen completed the rout three
minutes from the final whistle just seconds after coming on as a substitute.
The win did little to appease the angry home crowd but it
moves Lazio a point above Napoli and one behind Atalanta, both of whom have
games in hand.
The result was another unhappy night for Salernitana in an
already grim season. The club sits bottom of the table with just 15 points from
a possible 96 and relegation is almost assured. AP
