Sunday to stay in touch with Serie A's leading pair
Fiorentina and Inter, who won again.
Goals from Edin Dzeko and Gervinho settled the Rome derby in
Serie A on Sunday as Roma claimed a 2-0 win over rivals Lazio
at the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio had not won the derby in six attempts prior to the teams'
meeting this weekend and failed to halt that run as goals in
either half ensured Roma stay within a point of joint leaders
Fiorentina and Inter.
Rudi Garcia's men were beaten 1-0 by Inter at San Siro last time
out in the league but showed no signs of fatigue from their 3-2
win over Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, as Dzeko opened the
scoring from the spot 10 minutes in.
An ankle injury for Mohamed Salah soured the derby win
somewhat but Gervinho made sure of the points after the hour -
Stefano Pioli's side beaten for a third consecutive league game.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Geoffrey Kondogbia gave Inter their
seventh 1-0 win of the league campaign before Fiorentina
returned to top spot with a 2-0 success at Sampdoria - Josip
Ilicic and Nikola Kalinic on target in either half.
Gonzalo Higuain joined Sampdoria striker Eder on nine Serie A
goals for the campaign with an expert finish following positive
work by Jorginho in Napoli's 1-0 win against Udinese.
Higuain's 200th club career goal kept Napoli fourth just ahead of
Sassuolo, whose solid recent form continued with a 1-0 win
over Carpi courtesy of Nicola Sansone's goal.
Juventus' recovery continued with a 3-1 win at Empoli; Mario
Mandzukic, Patrice Evra and Paulo Dybala securing a second
consecutive league win to move the champions into seventh
spot after their dismal start to the campaign.
Leonardo Blanchard's acrobatic effort was the pick of the goals
in Frosinone's 2-2 draw against 10-man Genoa while Alberto
Gilardino gave Palermo a first win in four.
The striker struck 19 minutes from time to see off Chievo 1-0 at
the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
