Udinese came so close to victory against Lazio on Sunday, but they were denied by the crossbar on two occasions. Striker Gerard Deulofeu nearly got one but just couldn’t find the back of the net. “We gave it a good go, first through Lazar Samardzic and then with my effort.
“It was a very tough match against a team that has improved a lot from last season. We’re taking home a point which is a good point in terms of our aims and slowly getting to where we want to be.
“We’re returning home feeling pleased. We know that we had the chance to win and we worked hard to do so, but we must be realistic and acknowledge that a point at the Olimpico is always good.
“In the last game, I got my first goal which everyone had been talking about a lot and today I hit the bar, but I’m feeling relaxed. The team are doing well and we’re high up in the league. Now, I’m going to go and watch the second half of El Clasico!”
