Lazio stuns Roma
Print Edition
LAZIO won 3-1 at AS Roma in a controversial derby in Serie A yesterday to leave its neighbors in the capital looking nervously over their shoulders.
Roma remained second, nine points behind Juventus with four rounds left, but third-placed Napoli can move to within one point of Roma with a win at Inter Milan later.
“Ugly incidents led to an ugly Roma,” Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said of his team. “We could have gone in front at the start, and they scored with their first chance. Then you allow too many counterattacks, make too many mistakes. You think it’s not the match you had prepared ... we weren’t the same team we usually are.
“After a match like today you need to be quiet and suck up all the criticism. We lost our heads, made some bad choices, we weren’t lucky with incidents as their first two goals came from two deflections, when we attacked we didn’t have that luck.”
Fourth-placed Lazio moved four points behind Napoli after two goals from Keita Balde Diao and another from Dusan Basta handed it a first derby win in the league in nearly five years. Roma had leveled through Daniele De Rossi’s penalty after Wallace was harshly judged to have tripped Kevin Strootman.
Roma defender Antonio Rudiger was sent off in stoppage time for a dangerous challenge on Filip Djordjevic.
“We deserved it already from the first half, we had the right attitude from the start,” Lazio captain Lucas Biglia said. “(Lazio coach) Simone Inzaghi motivated the team and we couldn’t not win it”
