Lazio recorded an immensely impressive 3-2 victory over city rivals Roma to show that they are up to the challenge of competing in Serie A this season.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic scored the first by bravely heading in Felipe Anderson's cross, and Pedro scored the second against his former club. Roger Ibanez got one back for Roma but Anderson then gave Lazio daylight once again. Jordan Veretout scored a penalty for Roma but they could not find an equaliser.
