Three second-half goals in the space of nine minutes saw Lazio claim a 3-0 win over Serie A newboys Pescara at the Stadio Olimpico.

Pescara should have taken the lead in the first half when Bastos fouled Gianluca Caprari inside the box but Ledian Memushaj fired his penalty well wide of Federico Marchetti's goal.

The visitors were punished as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic gave Simone Inzaghi's side the lead after 67 minutes with a powerful header before Stefan Daniel Radu doubled their advantage five minutes later.

Balde Diao Keita set up summer-signing Ciro Immobile to score his first goal for the club and the hosts' third as Lazio climbed up to fourth in the table.
