"I am very happy with the derby, even if it was so loud towards the end that they couldn't hear me! It was such a favourable situation for us, and we risked giving away a goal; we cannot waste what we did in those minutes against a team down to 10 men. I know the fans feel particularly deeply about this fixture, so we're glad to give them this joy. Now I need to think about how to improve those final 10 minutes!"
"2016 - AS Roma have won an away derby against Lazio in Serie A for the first time since 4th December 2016 (2-0 with goals netted by Strootman and Nainggolan), since then they've recorded four draws and four defeats.

Roma defeated Lazio 1-0 in the Derby della Capitale thanks to Lorenzo Pellegrini's 38th-minute goal. Tempers boiled over at the Stadio Olimpico as Lazio finished with two late red cards for Reda Belahyane and Matteo Guendouzi. The fixture has produced 41 red cards in the three-points-for-a-win era of Serie A, more than any other match. Gian Piero Gasperini expressed awe at the crowd noise and voiced concern about Roma's play after Lazio went down to ten men, stressing the need to improve the final ten minutes. Roma sit fourth with three wins from four league games.
