Overview

• Roma beat Lazio 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, with Pellegrini scoring the decisive goal in the first half.
• Evan Ferguson started up front and was replaced around the 66th minute by Artem Dovbyk as the striker’s wait for a first Serie A goal continued.
• Ferguson was seen delaying his exit for the substitution, drawing a shove from Reda Belahyane before the pair exchanged pushes.
• Lazio finished the day with two dismissals, as Belahyane saw a straight red card and Matteo Guendouzi was sent off after the final whistle for his protests.
• Roma moved to fourth on nine points despite absences for Paulo Dybala, Leon Bailey and Wesley, and they now turn to a Europa League trip to Nice on Wednesday.
