Hernanes celebrated his brace at Lazio in spectacular style.

Inter Milan midfielder Hernanes dedicated his goals against his former club Lazio on Sunday to their president Claudio Lotito, who he was delighted to get one over at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Brazilian grabbed both goals in a 2-1 away win to boost Inter's hopes of qualifying for Europe next season and dent Lazio's hopes of qualifying automatically for the Champions League, and he did not hold back with his celebrations.
The acrobatic somersault that Hernanes defined as "the saddest of my life"…
