Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri had mixed emotions after their 1-1 draw with Torino.

Ciro Immobile struck to rescue the point for Lazio.

"It was a difficult game, when we are up against a side this physical and aggressive, it doesn't suit our characteristics. We struggled on set plays and lost our way a little after the goal, but we knew it would be tough tonight," Sarri told Sky Italia.

Torino take everyone on man-for-man and that creates problems for us, especially our midfield. We also showed less quality than usual and therefore suffered more, we didn't do what we were supposed to on the wide attackers, because Toro are so aggressive and strong receiving the ball.

“It's always a dilemma against teams with Torino's characteristics. If you reply with physicality, they are bound to have more anyway, so we tried to respond with quick passing instead, but we didn't do it well enough. In fact, we only got the game back on track when we started to pass it long for Milinkovic."
