Super Eagles midfielder, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, opened his Serie A account as Lazio cruised to 3-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
The Nigerian international, who joined the Roman club from Turkish side Hatayspor during the summer transfer window, made his mark late in the game.
Introduced as a substitute in the 86th minute, Dele-Bashiru wasted no time, finding the back of the net in the 93rd minute to cap off an impressive team performance.
The goal marks a milestone for the 22-year-old in Italy’s top flight, showcasing his potential in a squad that has now recorded seven consecutive victories across all competitions.
Lazio’s fine form sees them firmly in contention for a strong finish this season, with their sights set on silverware.
This wasn’t Dele-Bashiru’s first taste of glory for the Biancocelesti. He had already made headlines in September when he scored his debut goal for Lazio during a 3-0 triumph over Dinamo Kiev in the UEFA Europa League group stage.
His recent contributions underline his growing importance in Maurizio Sarri’s squad.
With Lazio firing on all cylinders, fans will be hoping to see more of Dele-Bashiru’s magic in the coming weeks as they continue their charge on multiple fronts.
