Lazio breeze through in Coppa Italia

Lazio have booked their place in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia with a 3-0 win at home to Serie B side Varese.

The hosts made the breakthrough on 24 minutes when Abdoulay Konko's shot from the edge of the box took a wicked deflection off Stefan Simic before hitting the net.

Their lead was then doubled just two minutes later as Filip Djordjevic got his name on the scoresheet with a powerful effort from a tight angle.

Lazio were made to work in the second half, but they secured the victory 10 minutes from time thanks to Felipe Anderson's long-range strike.
