The 2-0 win over Lazio was the second time this season Roma have kept a clean sheet.
Rudi Garcia has won three and drawn two of his five Rome derbies. Alongside Herbert Burgess, the coach of the great Roma side of the early 1930s, Garcia is the only coach in Giallorossi history to lead the side in at least five derbies without losing.
Gervinho has bagged six goals in the Giallorossi’s last seven league games.
Gervinho’s first derby strike made it seven goals in all competitions this season, equaling his haul for the whole of the 2014-15 campaign.
For the 11th time in the club’s history, Roma began the Rome derby with seven of their starting line-up making their first-ever appearance against Lazio for the club.
The number of times Roma have beaten Lazio by a 2-0 scoreline.
Roma are deadly in the opening 15 minutes of a match. The first goal on Sunday came in the first 15-minute period of the match – the sixth goals Roma have scored in the first 15 minutes of a game this season.
Gervinho, who scored 12 times in his first season in the Eternal City, now was 26 goals in 84 appearances for the club. The Ivorian is now just one goal behind Scudetto-winning Roma stars Paulo Roberto Falcao and Aristide Coscia in the scoring charts.
Sunday’s derby win saw Rudi Garcia overtake Herbert Burgess to reach the milestone of 30 home league wins as Roma manager. The French coach thus becomes the sixth manager to reach the 30-win mark at home, after Nils Liedholm (92), Fabio Capello (57), Luciano Spalletti (52), Luigi Barbesino (36) and Alfredo Foni (32).
The number of Serie A victories Roma can count over Lazio in 145 matches.
The number of times the Giallorossi have now beaten Lazio in the derby.
The goals scored by Edin Džeko and Gervinho – both of whom were finding the net for the first time in a derby match – mean that there have now been 108 different players to score at least one goal against Lazio for the Giallorossi.
Total number of times Roma and Lazio have met. There have been 50 Lazio victories and 17963 draws.
Gervinho’s goal on Sunday was Roma’s 200th in derby matches in the league and the Coppa Italia.
Sunday’s derby win over Lazio was the 3,500th match in Roma history according to the club’s records.
If the Giallorossi can maintain their current goals-per-game ratio (27 goals in 12 league matches, an average of 2.25 goals per game), they are on track to reach the milestone of 4,000 goals in the modern format of Serie A before the end of the season. Džeko and Gervinho’s goals brought the tally up to 3949 goals, meaning Roma need to score another 51 in their remaining 26 matches this season to hit 4,000.
