Lazio v Roma LIVE - Roma victorious in feisty Derby della Capitale

Lazio started the match well, looking to get forward and attack quickly, but the match struggled as a whole to get going due to a succession of fouls and stoppages.

Mattia Zaccagni had the first real chance in the derby, when he shifted the ball onto his right foot from just inside the 18-yard box before curling an effort looking for the top corner but Roma keeper Mile Svilar dived across to make the save.

For all the Lazio pressure, it was Roma who struck first at the Olimpico. Nuno Tavares lost the ball on the edge of his own box, Matias Soule was then able to lay it off to Pellegrini, who struck a smart effort past Ivan Provedel and into the back of the net.

Lazio had a golden opportunity to level the game up 10 minutes into the second half when Danilo Cataldi threaded a superb through ball through the middle of the pitch into the path of Boulaye Dia. Dia was able to race away from two Roma defenders to go one-v-one with Svilar but lost all composure at the crucial moment, blasting his effort high over the crossbar.

Maurizio Sarri's side continued to push forward, with Valentin Castellanos also seeing a chance go narrowly wide, but their task got even harder when they were reduced to 10 men, with Reda Belahyane shown a straight red card for a disgraceful stamp on Manu Kone's calf.

Sarri's side did, however, have time for one more chance, and it was their best of the match, with Cataldi striking the woodwork from distance in stoppage time.

Lazio received a second red card, with this one going to Matteo Guendouzi after the final whistle. The former Arsenal man marched straight over to the official and presumably gave him an earful, with the referee brandishing a red card just seconds later.

That's now three wins from four in Serie A for Roma, who sit just one point behind league leaders Juventus. For Lazio, their poor start continues with just one win and three points from their four league matches this term.

Roma win the Derby della Capitale thanks to a goal from Lorenzo Pellegrini against a Lazio side that ended the derby with nine men.

Guendouzi has been shown a straight red card after the full time whistle, he looks to have been protesting about something to the referee.

Cataldi lets fly from distance and rattles the crossbar in stoppage time! Just inches from a derby equalizer for Lazio!

There will be a minimum of six minutes added on at the end of this one.

Belahyane is sent off for an awful challenge on Manu Kone. A really terrible and needless stamp on his calf.

This tension of this match could be cut with a knife. Lazio know that one moment of magic or one Roma mistake and they could be level, as for Roma they know it could only take one chance to completely kill the game off.

Ndicka is booked.

Tijjani Noslin is on for Pedro.

Roma have made another double change.

Kostas Tsimikas and Neil El Ayanoui are on for Bryan Cristante and Angelino.

Lazio are really throwing everything at Roma now in search of a goal.

That looked to be all the world like the equaliser! Mario Gila laid the ball off for Valentin Castellanos who cleverly let the ball run across his body before curling an effort looking for the far corner but it flies agonisingly wide of the target.

Niccolo Pisilli and Tommaso Baldanzi are on for Lorenzo Pellegrini and Mattias Soule.

The referee has signalled for a cooling break.

A Lazio corner is headed away and it falls to Cataldi who is far too far out to even think about shooting, so of course he does and his effort flies high over the crossbar, much to the frustration of his teammates.

Artem Dovbyk is on for Evan Ferguson.

Castellanos does really well to wriggle away from a couple of challenges before being fouled by Cristante.

This game is swinging like a pendulum, both sides are getting players forward in attack and look capable of scoring. Not a lot of patient possession is happening and honestly, I'm not complaining!

Mancini wins a corner on the right-hand side before launching into cheerleader mode, fist pumping and getting the Roma supporters going.

Lazio have won their first corner of the second period, Pedro to take.
