(EPA Images pic)MILAN: Lazio scored a statement win on Sunday, brushing Juventus aside 3-0 in Turin to move level on points with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A.
Lazio trail the defending champions on goal difference, but 19 points is their highest total after seven league games, surpassing the 17 accumulated by Sven Goran Ericsson's team to open the 1999-2000 season.
That side went unbeaten for their first nine games and ended up winning their second, and most recent, Serie A title, by one point from Juventus.
Oliver Provstgaard, a 1.93m centreback, leapt high above the home defence after 37 minutes and guided a header inside the far post.
