Lazio boss Stefano Pioli was delighted with their Coppa Italia win over AC Milan.
It meant consecutives victories over the Rossoneri.
"It was again a great performance from my lads, who showed courage, sacrifice and fought for every ball," the Coach told Rai Sport.
"They brought home an important victory, as we wanted to go forward and give consistency to our recent results.
"We interpreted the game well and when we went down to 10 men it was tough, but that is precisely when my team tends to really give its best.
"I am very proud of these lads. I had told them that even a man down we could still take the same general approach in attack and defence. My players showed they have the right tenacity, determination and cool heads."
