Lazio staged a late comeback to beat Udinese 2-1 away on Monday and maintain their perfect record in Serie A so far this season. Italy midfielder Davide Frattesi, who joined the Rome side from champions Inter in the summer, cancelled out Jesper Karlstrom's opener for the hosts with his third goal in as many games and another new signing, Albert Gudmundsson, headed home the winner. Lazio join Inter and city rivals AS Roma at the top of the table with nine points from three games. The positive start is a surprise as the appointment of coach Gennaro Gattuso, who failed to lead Italy to qualification for the World Cup in his previous job, was met with scepticism among fans. Furthermore, most Lazio supporters are boycotting the team's home games in protest at how Chairman Claudio Lotito is running the club. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Copyright ANSA
