The Lazio squad clearly suffered without talisman Ciro Immobile, failing to put in a clinical performance in their 2-2 draw Juventus.

The Biancocelesti were hungry for three points heading into the match following Roma’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Venezia on the weekend, but without Ciro Immobile the team struggled to be clinical in front of goal, wasting a number of chances.

Moments of poor defending allowed Juventus to take a 2-0 lead into the second half, but a glancing header from Patric led to Lazio clawing one back in the 51st minute. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pulled off the impossible in the dying minutes of the match, netting the equaliser to claw back a point for the Roman club.

Lazio will now have to beat Hellas Verona in their final game of the season if they want to guarantee a fifth place finish in the league, ahead of intercity rivals Roma.

Below are the Lazio squad’s player ratings for their 2-2 draw with Juventus:

4.5: Strakosha;

5: Marusic, Cabral;

5.5: Acerbi, Patric;

6: Lazzari, Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson;

6.5: Cataldi, Zaccagni, Milinkovic-Savic.
