Lazio 0-2 Roma: Strootman & Nainggolan claim derby win

The Giallorossi move second in the Serie A table after seeing off their city rivals in a typically feisty game to continue their long unbeaten run in derby games

Roma claimed a 2-0 derby victory over Lazio thanks to second-half goals from Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan

Having battled back from career-threatening knee injuries, Strootman pounced on an error from Lazio defender Wallace to put Roma on their way to victory midway through the second period at a half-full Stadio Olimpico - both club's 'ultra' fans remain unhappy at changes made to the stadium in an attempt to segregate unruly supporters.
