Bologna beat Lazio 5-0 in a resounding home victory that provisionally placed them in fourth position in the Serie A standings in a crucial match in the race for Europe. Vincenzo Italiano's side temporarily leapfrogged Juventus ahead of the Bianconeri's match at Fiorentina later on Sunday.

Bologna annihilated fellow top-four rivals Lazio 5-0 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, recording a fourth successive Serie A victory for just the second time in 55 years, while also notching up their biggest margin of victory in a meeting with the Romans since February 1958.

Bologna swept Lazio aside in a dominant performance and leapfrogged them into fifth place with Riccardo Orsolini and Dan Ndoye taking centre-stage.
