Roma Player Ratings: El Shaaraway, Nainggolan Top of Their Class

In today’s Derby della Capitale won by the giallorossi emphatically (4-1) is garnished with high marks all around for the victors

Roma defeated Lazio in the second leg of the Roman derby today, with goals by El Shaaraway, Dzeko, Florenzi, and Perotti. Parolo’s interim 1-2 goal gave Lazio a lifeline and sparked a small reaction by the biancocelesti, but Roma’s superior technical skill came through in the end.

This is how Roma’s players fared, in our view:

Szczesny: 5.5. Called to only one significant save. HOwever, his sole mistake costs him Lazio’s goal, which temporarily re-opened the match.

Florenzi: 7. Buried the insurance goal, while wearing the captain’s armband in the derby: he shall inherit Totti’s crown of King Of Rome.

Manolas: 6.5. Always perfect in his timing and in shutting down Lazio’s attacking forays.

Rüdiger: 6.5. All around solidity, and made his size count.

Digne: 7. Assisted for El Shaaraway’s opening goal, and was omnipresent on the left flank.

Pjanic: 6.5. Did pretty much whatever he wanted as Roma’s playmaker today. Hit the post in the first half in what would have been one of this Sunday’s more beautiful goals.

Keita: 6. Carried out Spalletti’s instructions to a tee without too much tremor .

Nainggolan: 7. The Belgian was Roma’s gladiator today: snapping at his opponents ankles, fought the good fight, the best fighter in today’s midfield trench warfare. Replaced by Iago Falque at the 26th minute of the second half: 6.5 for the Spaniard.

Salah: 6. Less devastating than usual wasted a wonderful opportunity to put his side up 2-0. Replaced by Zukanovic at the 36th minute of the second half: not enough time to evaluate him.

Perotti: 7. Once more shows his brilliance and importance in Roma’s offensive movements and game plays. Scores the goal that puts the game beyond doubt.

El Shaarawy: 7. Eluded Lazio’s defence all game. Perfect movement in occasion of the goal that breaks the ice, the first of  his Derby della Capitale. Replaced at the 15th minute of the second half by Dzeko: 6.5 for the Bosnian who makes no mistake to punch in Roma’s 2-0 goal: has make more mistakes for easier goals: Spalletti’s cure is working.
