Serie A: Lazio win overshadowed by racist chants aimed at Mario Balotelli
January 6, 2020 Football
- Mario Balotelli lashed out on Sunday after again being targeted by racist insults, this time from Lazio fans after he scored for Brescia in a 2-1 Serie A defeat, telling his tormentors: “Shame on you”.
- Balotelli struck the first goal after 18 minutes at Brescia’s Stadio Mario Rigamonti before title-chasers Lazio hit back with a Ciro Immobile double. But the game was overshadowed by insulting chants aimed at the former Manchester City and Liverpool player.
- However, Lazio still stretched their winning streak to nine consecutive league games to consolidate third place, three points behind leaders Inter Milan and Juventus who play on Monday.
