In Stats: 10 numbers from superb derby win


We’ve picked out 10 numbers from Roma’s 2-0 victory over Lazio on Saturday as goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pedro clinched Derby della Capitale spoils.

1

Ebrima Darboe, Daniel Fuzato and Marash Kumbulla all made their derby day debuts for the Giallorossi, while Mkhitaryan and Pedro scored their first goals in this fixture.

3

Mkhitaryan’s opener saw the Armenian score for the third Serie A game in succession.

5

This latest clean sheet was Roma’s fifth from their last eight home league games, with all five of those shutouts leading to victories during that run (W5, D1, L2).

9

This win emphatically ended Roma’s four-game run without claiming all three points from their city rivals, while Roma remain unbeaten in four as Derby della Capitale hosts and have lost just one of their last nine as the nominal 'home' side against their fiercest foes (W5, D3, L1).

12

Mkhitaryan’s strike was his 12th Serie A goal this season, marking the best return of his career in Europe’s top-five leagues.

17

The Giallorossi have scored in 17 of their 19 Serie A outings at the Olimpico this term (as the home side), and have gone without conceding on nine occasions as hosts.

14

Edin Dzeko was the man with the most Derby della Capitale appearances to his name in the Roma side and featured against the city’s other team for a 12th time in Serie A, 14th in all competitions.

33

At 33 years and 291 days old, Pedro is the oldest player ever to open his Rome derby account, beating Miroslav Klose’s (33 years, 129 days) previous record.

100

After passing 100 games in charge this week, Paulo Fonseca marked his final game at the Olimpico with possibly his biggest win; claiming derby bragging rights for the first time at his fourth attempt.
