Lazio managed to salvage a point last night, as defender Sebastiano Siviglia headed in 15 minutes from time to cancel out Torino winger Ignazio Abate’s strike.
Delio Rossi’s men are in free-fall in Serie A at present, and were hoping to get back to winning ways after losing their last four games on the trot.
“We just failed to convert the chances we created,” Lazio President Claudio Lotito is quoted as saying by news agency ANSA.
“I am not looking for excuses, but I think the result was partly down to the fact that injury and bans severely depleted the squad.
“Moreover, some players came back from international duty on Thursday and they were probably somewhat tired. Otherwise, I feel we could have repeated our previous victories over Toro.”
Lazio had already met the Granata twice this season and came out on top on both occasions, winning 3-1 in Serie A and registering the same result in the Coppa Italia.
“The game did not start well and could have had an even worse finale,” sighed Lotito.
“And we did good in getting back into it after Abate’s goal, which was Toro’s only shot on goal.
“The lads wanted to win at all costs, because they do not accept this position in the table and are mortified.”
