Lazio complete dramatic late comeback

Lazio come from a goal down to beat Cagliari after a frenzied finale saw the visitors reduced to nine men.

Lazio scored twice in the last ten minutes to earn a comeback win against Cagliari, who were reduced to nine men in the closing stages of an action-packed Serie A clash this evening.

Hernanes went the close for the home side in the first half, curling a measured free-kick onto the crossbar from distance.

Cagliari had chances of their own before the break, with only a last-ditch clearance from Andre Dias stopping the visitors taking the lead.

Marco Sau stunned the Olimpico by putting Cagliari ahead on the hour after fine approach-play from Danilo Avelar.

The home side rallied and were level in the closing stages when Abdoulay Konko latched onto a cross from Giuseppe Biava.

Lazio completed a stunning turnaround six minutes later when Michael Agazzi conceded a penalty for a foul on Miroslav Klose, with the goalkeeper sent off as a result.

Before the spot kick could be taken Andrea Cossu was also dismissed for his angry protests.

Antonio Candreva kept his cool after a lengthy delay to earn Lazio all three points and keep them in second place at the halfway stage of the Serie A season.
