Immobile being Lazio matchwinner: We've done some stupid things

Ciro Immobile was happy to prove Lazio's matchwinner against Fiorentina.

Immobile converted a 95th minute penalty for Monday's 1-0 win.

He later said: "If I have to put the difficulties in order, in first place was the team's moment, the moment of defeat in Rotterdam and then my moment, the team is always in first place. The game was open, you could win and you could lose, the boys worked well, we won, we believed in it more.

"We attackers are lacking a bit of goals, when you play an important amount of play you have to verticalize, have the brilliance to beat the man. Maybe we're lacking this, a bit of clarity in front of the goal. Today we didn't concede a goal and for us it is an important starting point, let's move forward.

"We need games like these after the stupid things we've done, we've let ourselves down morally, now we're in the middle of the championship and Europe, we have to score points like today."
