Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha has praised his side following their victory over Sampdoria on Saturday evening.

A strike from Santiago Gentiletti was enough to secure a 1-0 win that has lifted the Rome club up to second in the Serie A table.

"It was not easy to leave this stadium with three points, so we are all delighted," Berisha told Lazio Style Radio.

"We have proved once again we are a great team as this was a very difficult game and we were missing some players."

Lazio are back in action on Wednesday evening when they take on Juventus in the final of the Coppa Italia.
