Lazio coach Stefano Pioli was impressed with the effort his side put into their 2-0 win over Fiorentina.

The Biancocelesti took home the three points thanks to a first half Filip Djordjevic strike, and a late Senad Lulic tap in.

“The stronger our opponent, the more important it is to win,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia after the game.

“We’re looking for continuity. Fortunately for us we have got a big victory against a strong team.

“In the first half we played well and risked little. The players finished the game totally exhausted.”

Lazio have recovered from a slow start to the season and are looking to claim a European berth this season.

“The players are convinced they can finish in the top five. We hope to keep this form up and then do the math [at the end of the season].”

Lazio face Torino next at the Stadio Olimpico next weekend, while Fiorentina take on AC Milan.
