Lazio midfielder Danilo Cataldi proud of derby goal

Lazio midfielder Danilo Cataldi was proud of his goal in the derby win over Roma.

Cataldi capped the 3-0 win with a powerful drive.

“I thought when I hit it that the shot wasn't exactly irresistible, but then I saw the net moving and after that I had no idea what was happening," Cataldi stated.

“I just wanted to run, to celebrate, to feel all the passion of the moment. It was special. I think this is the greatest moment of my career.

“For someone who came up through all the Lazio youth ranks to score in a derby is just the ultimate dream."

Cataldi was booked for taking his shirt off during the celebrations, but added: “Someone could've stabbed me and I wouldn't have felt a thing at that moment."
