The Biancoceleste of Lazio reigned supreme on Friday night as two goals from Luis Alberto and a goal from the King, Ciro Immobile, saw A.S Roma embarrassed by their bitter rivals.
From the first whistle, the game was extremely open and therefore took only fourteen minutes before the first goal from a complete misjudgement by Roma defender Ibanez led Immobile to slot it into the goal.
Constant pressure from the attacking force of Lazio led to a 23rd minute second led to a first goal for Alberto which landed in the bottom left corner, out of the reach of Lopez.
The second half was much of the same as Roma failed to get a foot in the door and rarely had a chance to test the defence of Lazio.
Alberto’s second came in the 67th minute when a beautifully curled shot from the edge of the box settled the game and sent the Romanisti wondering where it all went wrong.
Despite this, Lazio sit in a measly 7th place still far from the title race where as Roma sit firmly in 4th place but with 2 games in hand and are likely to drop places in the coming days. Either way to both sets of fans, the derby is as important, if not more, than the scudetto and Lazio have gained the bragging rights this season which they will be delighted with.
