Alessio Romagnoli scored his fifth goal this season, but it was memorable because it allowed Lazio to take the lead against city rivals Roma.

Romagnoli gave Lazio the lead in the second half of a derby della Capitale on Sunday.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Italian centre-back beat Mile Svilar with a towering header from a Luca Pellegrini free kick from the left.

Ironically, both Pellegrini and Romagnoli are lifelong Lazio fans who spent a few years in the Roma academy.

Pellegrini even played for Roma’s first team, while Romagnoli didn’t make it to a senior level in a Giallorossi shirt.

Romagnoli breaks deadlock! 💥

A great delivery in and Romagnoli rises highest to bullet home his header to put Lazio ahead!
