Lazio are within three points of the top of the Serie A table following their win.
“It was a strange game,” Mauri declared to SkySport.
“We are delighted with this victory which shows we can bounce back following difficult moments.
“The boys showed their determination this afternoon but we were a little sloppy in the goals we conceded.
“There is always room for improvement and we will look to do that in the New Year.
“For now we close 2010 on a high note and sitting three points off top is not a bad result given our difficulties during this calendar year.”
