Lazio were made to work very hard indeed to beat Genoa 3-2 at Marassi, as Ciro Immobile replied to a brace from 16-year-old Pietro Pellegri.
This is now the Aquile’s best start to a season since 1999-2000, when they went on to win the Scudetto under Sven-Goran Eriksson.
It was a real slog in Liguria, although Bastos bundled a rebound over the like in the opening minutes.
The game went wild after the break, as Pellegri came off the bench and scored an equaliser when pouncing on a lucky deflection.

Immobile confirmed his scintillating form by restoring the advantage on a Jordan Lukaku pull-back, but Pellegri drew the Grifone level yet again.
