2017-18-11 - 19:49
An extremely nervy first half gave way to a very one-sided second as Roma exploded for two quick goals en route to a crucial victory over their most intense rivals.

Kostas Manolas’ handball, leading to Ciro Immobile’s penalty-kick goal, kept the match interesting right until the final whistle. In the end, Roma withstood Lazio’s final push, and claimed the three points.

Here’s our player ratings for the Derby della Capitale:

ROMA:
Alisson (GK) – 6.5
Florenzi (RB) – 5.0: He looked gassed after playing a full 90 for Italy on Monday
Manolas (CB) – 5.0: His VAR-assisted handball gave Lazio life
Fazio (CB) – 7.0: In addition to heady defense, he made his presence felt in the midfield
Kolarov (LB) – 8.0: Against his former club, he looked like the strong player we’ve seen all year
Nainggolan (CM) – 9.0: Was the best player on the pitch all night despite the injury. Deserved the goal

Strootman (CM) – 6.5
El Shaarawy (RW) – 6.0 Didn’t really contribute in the final third
