Dabo wins Lazio the Coppa Italia

City legend Ousmane Dabo scored the winning penalty in their 6-5 shoot-out win over Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia final last night.

After 120 minutes the tie was locked at 1-1, and after the first five kicks each it was 4-4. The first round of sudden death saw two goals, before Hugo Campagnaro shot weakly at Lazio 'keeper Fernando Muslera.

Dabo stepped up to win the cup for the Biancocelesi, and he did so: firing the ball into the bottom right corner of the net, beyond the outstretched Luca Castellazzi.

Ousmane Dabo had also won the Coppa Italia with Lazio in 2004.

How bad was he in the Prem though? The fact that he's still playing in Italy gives clear credence to the claim that we are now the best league in the world...

I'd like to point out that winning the Coppa Italia doesn't mean an awful lot in Italy, it's like winning the Johnston's Paint Trophy. I din't think Dabo playeed that badly for us, he just didn't get enough of a look in from what I can remember.
And I agree with Jfell on hoping that that useless tool Barton sees this. £5.8 mil for him was brilliant business.
