Bologna vs Lazio

Lazio cruised to a 2-0 win at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara as Kenneth Taylor struck twice in the second half to sink Bologna. The Dutch midfielder's clinical brace sealed a third consecutive Serie A victory for the visitors and piled more misery on a dismal week for the hosts. The turning point came when goalkeeper Edoardo Motta dived to save Riccardo Orsolini's penalty — his first spot-kick save in Serie A. Bologna never recovered. Taylor pounced on a loose ball after Boulaye Dia's shot was blocked to sweep home at the near post on 72 minutes, then rounded keeper Federico Ravaglia after a slick move involving Dia and Noslin to double the lead in the 82nd. The result sees Lazio leapfrog Bologna into eighth place, boosting their push for European qualification. For Bologna, a painful defeat that leaves them sliding in the wrong direction.
