In Italy, Lazio have set a record of 11 successive wins in the Italian Serie A, after thrashing Sampdoria 5-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. 

Lazio got on the scoresheet only seven minutes into the match, when Felipe Caicedo tapped the ball home from a rebound. 

Italy striker, Ciro Immobile, doubled the lead for the hosts after converting from the spot in the 17th minute. 

Only three minutes later, Immobile scored his second goal after rounding the Sampdoria keeper. 

Angolan defender Bastos fired the ball home from close range before the hour mark to make it 4-nil. 

Then, Immobile scored his hat trick from the spot, after a VAR-awarded penalty in the 65th minute, before Karol Linetty scored a consolation with powerful shot from edge of the box.

With the result, Lazio moved within three points of leaders Juventus who will meet Parma on Sunday.
