Sarriball turns into sufferball as Lazio stumble at home to Torino, jeopardizing their Champions League quest

For the previous few weeks, SS Lazio seemed unbreakable and unstoppable in the Italian Serie A, rising to second place behind Napoli.

The only bad news for them came far from the football pitch, as Juventus were given back the 15 points deducted from Bianconeri a few months ago. However, today, when Maurizio Sarri's slot was expected to shine again, this time against Torino, and clinch the fifth victory in a row.

Alas, a dream turned into a horror. The visitors triumphed 1-0 thanks to Ilic's solitary goal and silenced the home crowd, which rushed to a legendary Stadio Olimpico only to witness a shocking outcome.

Sarri was nervous by the sidelines, hoping to see a comeback, but instead, Immobile, Milinkovic-Savic and the others were ill-fated and just couldn't get the ball past Milinkovic-Savic's older brother, who kept the clean sheet between the sticks.

Now, Juventus are in the perfect position to leapfrog Lazio and return to the runners-up position, which will become a reality if they top Napoli in Sunday's clash. Moreover, Lazio's city rival AS Roma are only five points behind them with a game in hand, which promises a lot of firework in the rest of the season.
