However, the Black and Whites are winless in their last three matches at home in Serie A having recorded three successive defeats at Stadio Alberto Picco.
 
"It's a beautiful moment, we played a complete game, it's not easy to play without being conditioned by the results of the other matches," Spezia manager Thiago Motta said after their win over Udinese. 
 
"But we faced it in a fantastic way. I am very proud and happy, to see the work we have done from day one until today is something extraordinary and these guys will remain in the history of this club forever. 
 
"I am honoured to be part of this group, I have to thank them for the team spirit and sacrifice they have always shown, it is thanks to that that they deserve this salvation today.
