BRESCIA, Italy: Two goals from Serie A's leading scorer Ciro Immobile, the second in stoppage time, gave third-placed Lazio a dramatic 2-1 win at 10-man Brescia on Sunday as they chalked up their ninth successive league victory.
Lazio had to reshuffle their midfield as Lucas Leiva and Luis Alberto - their key assist-provider this season - were both suspended while Danilo Cataldi was not fully fit. However, Brescia, who have enjoyed a new lease of life since Eugenio Corini was recalled as coach in December one month after being sacked, went ahead with a Mario Balotelli volley in the 18th minute, his first home goal since joining his hometown club this season.Lazio levelled after Andrea Cistana fouled Caicedo and was sent off for a second bookable offence and Immobile converted the penalty in the 42nd minute despite not connecting cleanly.
