Sarri's Spanish super-subs direct Lazio's win over Inter

'Sarriball' at its finest, ladies and gentleman!

That's exactly what we saw tonight in the Serie A derby between Maurizio Sarri's Lazio and the visiting Inter Milan, which ended in a much-deserved 3-1 win for the host.

The team from the capital of Italy dominated the match but celebrated the victory only after Sarri made a pair of second-half substitutions. It proved crucial for the final outcome, as both of the subs - experienced Spanish players, Luis Alberto and Pedro - scored to decide the winner.

Firstly, Lazio took the lead in the first half through Anderson, who exploited superb Milinkovic-Savic's cross on the far post.

Nerrazzuri responded early in the second half, as Lautaro Martinez netted to push the match into a stalemate.

However, then came Sarri. The prominent coach made perfect changes in his lineup, forcing Inter to withdraw following Pedro's and Luis Alberto's immense influence on the pitch.

After Pedro's assist, the latter bagged a stunner with 15 minutes left on the clock. It was a sensational moment of true magic at the Olympic stadium. The game was killed four minutes before the end, thanks to another splendid piece of artistry made by the former Barcelona and Chelsea winger.
