Maurizio Sarri’s side, in sixth, are three points behind Juventus, who hold the final Champions League spot and travel to fifth-placed Atalanta on Sunday night.
Ciro Immobile had opened the scoring from the penalty spot for a dominant Lazio side with 12 minutes on the clock, the 19th goal of the season for Serie A’s leading scorer.

Bologna went closest to scoring seconds after the break when Marko Arnautovic’s neat close-range flick was well kept out by Thomas Strakosha, but that was as good as it got for Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side, who sit 13th on 28 points.
The clean sheet was Lazio’s fourth in as many Serie A games, a serious defensive improvement for a team which had been the most porous in the league’s upper reaches.
That’s now 4️⃣ consecutive CLEAN SHEETS in Serie A for Lazio.
