Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring for Lazio in the second minute, but Sassuolo equalised through a Josip Sutalo own goal. Lazio quickly regained control as Gustav Isaksen and Romano Floriani Mussolini scored to establish a two-goal advantage.
Sassuolo attempted to fight back when Sebastiano Esposito reduced the deficit shortly before half-time. However, Mattia Zaccagni restored Lazio’s two-goal cushion in stoppage time, leaving the visitors firmly in control at the interval.
Lazio continued their attacking display after the break. Tijjani Noslin scored twice with impressive efforts from outside the penalty area to complete the six-goal performance. The visitors also missed two penalties, both saved by Sassuolo goalkeeper Stefano Turati.
Sassuolo’s task became considerably harder after Kristian Thorstvedt was sent off in the first half for a foul on Zaccagni, leaving the hosts with 10 players for much of the contest.
Elsewhere, Roma defeated Cagliari 4–2 after scoring twice in the final five minutes. Como also staged a late comeback to beat Torino 3–1, scoring three times in the final 10 minutes after falling behind earlier in the match.
Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso urged his players to remain focused despite reaching the summit, stressing the importance of maintaining discipline and consistency throughout the campaign.
The results have intensified the early-season Serie A title race, with Lazio, Inter, Roma and Como separated by relatively small margins.
