In Italy, Roma have re-claimed 2nd place in the Serie A table, after beating 10-man Lazio in a heated Rome derby.

After a goalless first half, Roma’s Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman skipped into the box before dinking the ball over the keeper to make it 1-nil.

Less than 15 minutes from time Belgium’s Radja Nainggolan doubled the lead for a 2-nil win, as he drove a low shot beyond Federico Marchetti's long reach and into the bottom corner.

Roma now move 4 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus, while Lazio are 5th, 4 points shy of Roma.
