Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri urged calm after their 6-1 thrashing of Spezia.

A Ciro Immobile hat-trick dominated the scoreline at the Olimpico.

“I had told the team not to sit deep as we had done against Empoli because I don't like it. We were much better today, it was easier when we were one man up," Sarri said afterwards.

“I didn't like the first fifteen minutes of the defensive line. Both in Empoli and today, we conceded a goal with the first opportunity. We didn't get into the game badly. Two clues don't make evidence, but they give us a bit of concern.

“In the first game, we tried to give a little more solidity. Luis Alberto is growing in condition, today I thought it was more useful the keep the ball.

“I'm used to choosing based on the condition and the opponent to face. Today, I wanted to move the ball quickly to avoid their aggressiveness".
