Zenit deservedly beat Lokomotiv, says Lovchev

Spartak veteran Evgeny Lovchev told Match TV that Zenit absolutely deserved to beat Lokomotiv. The match saw Zenit defeat Lokomotiv 2-0 at home during the 14th round of the Russian Premier League. ‘Zenit absolutely deserved to beat Lokomotiv, they were stronger. There was a period in the second half when Semak’s team decided to win with minimal effort and almost paid for it, but a win is a win. Lokomotiv, on the other hand, failed to convince. The only surprising thing was that at the beginning of the match they didn’t resemble themselves,’ Lovchev said to Match TV. Zenit sits in second place in the RPL standings with 29 points, trailing CSKA by just one point.
