ROMA - 6 JAN - Roma secured a 2-0 victory over Serie A rivals Lazio on Sunday, marking Claudio Ranieri's biggest win since returning as coach for his third stint at the club.Goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Alexis Saelemaekers in the first half gave Roma all three points in a tense derby at the Stadio Olimpico. The result lifted Roma to 10th place with 23 points, still 12 points behind Lazio, who occupy the final Champions League spot. The win also provided some breathing room from the relegation zone, with Roma now six points clear of Lecce, who are just inside the bottom three.

Despite Roma's solid first-half performance, Lazio pressed hard in the second half, with Valentin Castellanos and Nuno Tavares coming close to scoring, and LoumTchaouna's shot hitting the crossbar. Castellanos was sent off in stoppage time as Lazio ended the match in frustration. Pellegrini, who had been criticized by fans earlier this season, scored his first league goal of the season in a brilliant counterattack and received a standing ovation when he was substituted, signaling a return to form for both him and the team after a rocky start to the season.

Roma triumphed 2-0 against Serie Alocal rivals Lazio on Sunday to give Claudio Ranieri his biggest win since the veteran coach took charge of his boyhood club for the third time.
