Delight for Lazio's Castellanos as he scores in victory against Venezia

Lazio cruised to a 3-1 victory in their first Serie A match, securing a comfortable win.

Castellanos later said: “Happy with the performance of the whole team. Nice performance and nice team. Beautiful pre-season, with many new players. Happy for the victory and for our fans. 

“(Leading the attack) is a responsibility like all footballers who have to play. Confidence, scoring goals and doing well are important for me. 

“(My goal is to) play more and help the team.”
