ROME: Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso warned his team not to get carried away after they surged three points clear of Inter Milan at the top of Serie A on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Cagliari.

Lazio made a poor start as Cagliari took the lead through M'Bala Nzola in the 20th minute before goals in either half from Gustav Isaksen and Andrea Pinamonti gave them a sixth straight Serie A win.

With 28 points from 10 games, Lazio pulled clear of Inter after they lost the Milan derby. Unbeaten Roma sit third on 24 points and Como climbed back to fourth with a 1-0 win over rock-bottom Venezia.

Lazio last won Serie A in 2000 and this is the best start to a league campaign in the club's history, but the Roman outfit's ambitions remain modest according to Gattuso.
