Historic win for Biancocelesti
Lazio went level with leaders AC Milan at the top of Serie A after a convincing 3-1 win over Inter Milan at the Stadio Olinpico.
Edy Reja's men proved too good for Rafa Benitez's side as they clinched their first win over Inter for seven years.
Benitez handed a shock debut to 18-year-old full-back Felice Natalino - but it proved a match to forget for everyone from Inter.
Lazio went ahead on 23 minutes when Giuseppe Biava chested the ball home after a goal-line clearance from Esteban Cambiasso.
Just after the break and Mauro Zarate doubled their lead as he got the better of Natalino before dinking the ball over Luca Castellazzi.
Former Lazio ace Goran Pandev pulled one back for Inter on 74 minutes, but Brazilian midfielder Hernanes sealed the win late on.
Lazio are now second on goal difference but level with Milan, although they have a game in hand.
Inter, who could have gone third, drop to sixth on goal difference.
