Roma reigns supreme to maintain derby dominance

Second-half goals from Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan kept the local bragging rights with Roma for the fourth year running thanks to a controversial 2-0 derby win at Lazio on Sunday.
With only one point separating the sides, the biggest 'Derby della Capitale' in years was played out in a half-empty stadium as Roma's hardline ultras continued to protest strict security measures introduced by the club last year.
But after a contentious first half produced little of note from either side, Roma made light of its relative lack of support with an improved second-half performance that saw Strootman and Nainggolan strike within 13 minutes of each other.
