Ederson netted in another pre-season friendly to help Lazio claim a 3-0 win over Serie B side Spezia.

The 27-year-old striker has been in fine form during the close season and scored a brace against a team of Brazilians four days ago.

And Ederson started the game brightly again, as he flashed a powerful effort just wide of the post within minutes of kick-off.

Stefano Mauri saw his penalty saved by the goalkeeper in the 30th minute, following a foul on Miroslav Klose just inside the area, before Ederson eventually broke the deadlock

He slotted the ball home from close range five minutes before half-time, after a knock-down from Klose in the six-yard box.

Lazio tested two different systems under Vladimir Petkovic, using the 4-5-1 in the first half and 3-4-3 after the break.

The latter proved to be more effective as youngster Antonio Rozzi went on to score two more goals as the Biancocelesti claimed another convincing victory.

Scorers: Ederson 40, Rozzi 53, 78

Lazio: Bizzarri; Konko (Cavanda 63), Biava (Ciani 46), Dias (Biglia 46), Radu (Novaretti 46); Mauri (Keita 63), Onazi (Rozzi 46), Ledesma (Cana 46), Ederson, Lulic; Klose (Kozak 63)
