Franck Ribery stunned the hosts with a solo goal in the 25th minute and Lazio were struggling to get back into the game until Felipe Caicedo went down under a challenge from goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski and Immobile converted his 28th goal of the season in the 67th minute. Lazio, who saw a 21-match unbeaten run ended at Atalanta on Wednesday, were caught out when 37-year-old Ribery collected the ball on the left, slipped between two defenders, glided past a third and fired a shot past Thomas Strakosha.
Despite more possession, Lazio were making little headway against Fiorentina’s purple wall of defenders but they got a break when Caicedo intercepted a cross on his chest, then went down under a challenge from Dragowski.
