Sampdoria 2 - 1 Lazio: Emiliano Viviano penalty save inspires Sampdoria surge to victory
Posted Sunday, April 24, 2016 by PA
Emiliano Viviano saved a first-half penalty as Sampdoria rallied from behind to beat Lazio 2-1 and reach 40 points for the Serie A season.
Filip Djordjevic's third-minute strike meant Samp faced an uphill battle to win at their own Stadio Luigi Ferraris and Fernando made life easier for them by equalising in the 20th minute.
Lazio won a penalty just before half-time but Antonio Candreva was denied by Viviano, the former Arsenal goalkeeper.
In the 79th minute Modibo Diakite was in the right place at the right time to divert the ball past Federico Marchetti when Matias Silvestre took aim.
