They almost doubled their lead moments later, but Antonio Candreva saw his effort touched onto the post by Jean-Francois Gillet.

Eight minutes after the break Torino levelled the scores as Alexander Farnerud pounced on a loose ball just outside the box, before drilling an effort low past Federico Marchetti.

On the hour mark Lazio restored their lead when Candreva's powerful free kick was beaten away and Klose made no mistake to slot home the rebound.

The visitors could not respond for the second time as Lazio held on to win their fourth successive league match and move up to fifth in the table.
