Ranieri wins Rome derby again as Cagliari also triumph in Serie A results

by


Roma made light of a 15-point gap on arch-rivals Lazio at the start of play to continue Claudio Ranieri’s perfect record in the Rome derby in his third spell as Giallorossi manager on Sunday.

The result extended Roma’s unbeaten run to four matches in all competitions and ended their opponents’ stretch of three consecutive away wins.

Monza hosted Cagliari, Genoa visited Lecce and Parma travelled to Torino in the other Serie A games to take place.

Roma vs Lazio: Derby della Capitale

Lorenzo Pellegrini curled in a classy opener in the culmination of a fine team move after 10 minutes at the Stadio Olimpico, where Alexis Saelemaekers fired in eight minutes later as Roma won 2-0.

Forward Valentin Castellanos was sent off during added time for fourth-placed Lazio, who are three points above Juventus with an inferior goal difference. Roma rose to 10th, two points behind Udinese.

Torino vs Parma: Stalemate in Turin

Four points above the relegation zone, Torino have gone five home games without a win and more than five hours without a goal on their own turf after sharing a 0-0 draw with Parma, although Che Adams would have put them in front had his header not been tipped off the line by Zion Suzuki.

Parma, who are two points clear of the bottom three, had a Matteo Cancellieri goal ruled out for offside and hit the woodwork through Valentin Mihaila.

Monza vs Cagliari: Piccoli goal seals away win

Cagliari came from behind to move out of the relegation zone on goal difference with a 2-1 win at Monza, who are bottom and seven points from safety.

After Mattia Felici volleyed against the woodwork within two minutes for the visitors, Gianluca Caprari opened the scoring with a penalty.

Nadir Zortea equalised from long range and Roberto Piccoli struck the winner 11 minutes after the break, with Danilo D’Ambrosio sent off for Monza seven minutes later.

Lecce vs Genoa: Woodwork saves both teams

Nikola Krstovic hit the post from distance as third-bottom Lecce threatened to open the scoring on their way to a first point in three games.

Morten Thorsby and Andrea Pinamonti also hit the woodwork for Genoa before half-time in the 0-0 draw, which leaves Il Grifone three points above the relegation zone.
