Tolgay Arslan spoke to Udinese TV after a topsy-turvy affair at the Stadio Olimpico in which the midfielder scored the last-gasp equaliser to make it 4-4.
 
“Is it a lucky ground for me? Maybe. I also scored here last year. In any case, it’s an important point and it’s one that’s good for our team spirit and morale.
 
“We knew it would be a tough game and we knew the contest wasn’t over at the end of the first half, so I’d say it’s a very important point.
 
“Lazio are a great side with real quality, but we knew they had some issues in defence and we managed to exploit them, which is why we need players like Beto up front.
 
“We showed wonderful team spirit today, including when we fell behind. Everyone gave everything out there. We have many quality players and now we need to look ahead to the Empoli game next up.”
