Diego Perotti's 49th minute penalty put Roma ahead in the Derby della Capitale. Still lots of football to be played though.

Radja Nainggolan's 53rd minute laser doubled Roma's advantage. A reminder, he was sent home from Belgium with a ruptured groin earlier this week. What a player!

Ciro Immobile's 2nd minute goal was disallowed due to offsides, but he sunk 72nd minute penalty to set up the thrilling conclusion.
