Lazio 1-4 Roma

Stephan El Shaarawy scored his sixth goal in nine Serie A games since joining Roma on loan from Monaco

Lazio sacked coach Stefano Pioli after a comprehensive 4-1 defeat to second-placed Roma in the Rome derby.

Thousands of fans boycotted the match at the Stadio Olimpico over increased security measures as Roma extended their unbeaten league run to 10 games.

Stephan El Shaarawy headed Roma in front with Edin Dzeko making it 2-0.

Lazio got one back through Marco Parolo but Roma struck late through Alessandro Florenzi and Diego Perotti before Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt was sent off.

Stefano Pioli led Lazio to third place in Serie A last season

Roma tightened their grip on a Champions League qualification place and closed the gap on second-placed Lazio to four points as they completed the double over their biggest rivals.

Lazio have now won just one of their last six league games to remain eighth in the table and on Sunday evening announced the departure of Pioli, 50, who had been in charge since July, 2015.

Roma dominated the first half but went 2-0 up against the run of play when substitute Dzeko tapped in their second, 19 minutes after the break.

Parolo's close-range finish gave Lazio hope of a fight-back but fine strikes from Florenzi and Perotti within the space of four minutes kept Roma's run going with Hoedt collecting a second yellow card for a rash challenge in stoppage time.

The Rome derby was played in front of thousands of empty seats in the 70,000-capacity Stadio Olimpico following a supporter boycott

Nine-man Inter beaten

Torino won away for the fourth time this season and for the second season running at Inter

Inter Milan suffered their first home defeat since mid-January after having two players sent off in a 2-1 loss to Torino.

Roberto Mancini's side looked to be in control when they led at half time through a Mauro Icardi penalty.

But Cristian Molinaro equalised before Miranda was sent off for a second yellow card after 57 minutes.

Yuto Nagatomo was then harshly dismissed for tripping Andrea Belotti and conceding a controversial penalty, which Belotti converted 17 minutes from time as Torino won for the second time in 12 league games.

Inter's chances of Champions League qualification now look remote but they remain five points clear of AC Milan in fifth place after Milan lost 2-1 at Atalanta.

On-loan Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli came on as a second-half substitute for Milan but could not stop Atalanta winning for the second game in a row following a 14-match winless run.
