ROME — Lazio strengthened its third-place position with a 3-0 win over Udinese in Serie A on Wednesday in a match that was postponed from November.
Lazio went ahead with the help of an own-goal midway through the first half from Samir Santos.
With top scorer Ciro Immobile out injured, replacement Nani added another following a perfect cross from Felipe Anderson.
Anderson then finished off a counterattack three minutes from time as Lazio stretched its unbeaten run to six matches.
Lazio moved three points ahead of fourth-place Inter Milan, although still trails leader Juventus and second-place Napoli by eight and seven points, respectively.
In its last five matches, Lazio has outscored the opposition 13-3.
The match was postponed two months ago due to heavy rain and a waterlogged pitch.
