Former Chelsea and Barcelona Star Pedro Stars for Lazio As Inter Milan’s Perfect Start Comes to Crashing Halt

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Lazio's spirited performance stopped Inter Milan from extending their perfect start to the new Serie A season with a 3-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night.

It is the first time that Lazio has recorded back-to-back home wins in the season's first two games since 2015/2016. They had beaten Bologna on the opening day of the Serie A.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, were looking to set an early tone for the season with three successive wins, but it wasn't meant to be. Simone Inzaghi suffered yet another defeat on his return to his former side.

Lazio dominated proceedings from the early stages as Inter Milan struggled to conjure up anything meaningful in the Lazio area. Dangerman Ciro Immobile had a sniff at goal in the 15th minute but saw his shot go slightly wide of Samir Handanović's goal.
