Ciro Immobile was the MVP of Lazio-Zenit, as the Biancocelesti star netted a brace to secure a key win against the Russians in Champions League.

The 2020 Golden Shoe winner scored the opener after only three minutes, before Marco Parolo doubled Lazio’s lead 19 minutes later. Artem Dzyuba’s goal shook the hosts, who restored their double lead with Immobile’s goal from a spot kick in the second half.

Marco Parolo had ‘the perfect evening’ after scoring his debut Champions League goal in Lazio’s 3-1 win over Zenit.

The veteran was captain tonight at the Stadio Olimpico and found the net with a daisy-cutter from distance.

“I’d say it was the perfect evening,” Parolo told Mediaset.

Simone Inzaghi says Lazio deserve credit for ‘making it look easy’ after they beat Zenit 3-1 to put one foot in the Champions League Round of 16.

The Aquile are still unbeaten in Europe and sit just one point off group leaders Borussia Dortmund, four clear of Club Brugge.

“We did well to make it seem easy, but it really was not, as Zenit are accustomed to being in the Champions League,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.

Ciro Immobile scored two of Lazio’s three goals against Zenit and admits he wanted to ‘take it all out’ on the pitch in the Champions League.

The striker made his comeback from COVID-19 at the weekend, and bagged a brace this evening after missing the last two Champions League fixtures.
