LA SPEZIA, Italy (Reuters) - Lazio's Ciro Immobile, Felipe Anderson and Marcos Antonio were all on target in a 3-0 win over struggling Spezia in Serie A on Friday, extending the club's unbeaten run to eight league games.
Second-placed Lazio are 13 points adrift of leaders Napoli and increased their lead over AS Roma in third to eight points.
Lazio opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a coolly-taken spot-kick by Immobile, who sent Bartlomiej Dragowski the wrong way after a foul on Anderson in the box by Ethan Ampadu. Maurizio Sarri's men doubled their advantage seven minutes into the second half through a low shot by Anderson. Antonio wrapped up a comfortable win in the 89th with his first goal for Lazio less than 10 minutes after coming on.
Spezia finished with 10 men after defender Ampadu got a second yellow for fouling winger Mattia Zaccagni six minutes from time.Article type: free
