Chris Sutton reacts as Celtic secure massive Europa League victory against Lazio

Celtic came from a goal down to secure a 2-1 victory in their Group E Europa League clash against Serie A side Lazio at Parkhead last night.

Manuel Lazzari put the visitors ahead five minutes from the break, and Neil Lennon’s men couldn’t find a response until the 67th minute when a brilliant Ryan Christie’s strike drew them level.

Lazio had rattled the post minutes earlier and were close to restoring their lead, only for Fraser Forster to deny Marco Parolo.

Celtic left it late to complete the comeback and secure a first win against an Italian side since October 2007 when Christopher Jullien rose highest to head in Christie’s cross in the 89th minute.
