The away side strung together a run of plays in the first half and was close to breaking the deadlock in the sixth minute when Taty Castellanos saw his header hit the woodwork.

Bologna went ahead right after the break when Joshua Zirkzee’s smart pass found Ferguson, who placed a right-footed effort into the net, which was enough for them to wrap up three points.

With the win, Bologna temporarily sits sixth with 18 points, while Lazio dropped to eighth.
