Lazio striker Ciro Immobile hailed the manner of their 3-1 win at Europa League opponents Nice.

Mario Balotelli had put the hosts ahead at the Allianz Riviera, but Felipe Caicedo and a second-half Sergej Milinkovic-Savic brace turned it around for the victory.

“Caicedo is a really intelligent player who knows how to take chances and works hard. I am glad he scored, because over three competitions, we need everyone," Immobile told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was not our best approach from the start, but after the win at Juventus, we needed that psychological step up to maintain our focus. We are happy to have shown that consistency."
