Football, as a game, should have long passed Ranieri by - but the 73-year-old is rescuing his hometown club once again

Claudio Ranieri extended his perfect record in the Rome derby as Roma beat Lazio 2-0 in Serie A to give the Giallorossi a much-needed boost in what has been a difficult season.

Ranieri extended his perfect record in the capital derby as Roma beat Lazio 2-0 in Serie A on Sunday to give the Giallorossi a much-needed boost in what has been a difficult season. Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini scored the opener with a curling shot from the edge of the area and Alexis Saelemaekers finished off a counterattack to give Roma a two-goal advantage after 18 minutes.

Multiple outlets in Italy are reporting that Enzo Le Fee’s transfer from Roma to Championship side Sunderland is now a done deal.

While the Championship outfit will have to pay €23m to make the move permanent next summer, this was also the figure the Giallorossi paid just six months ago to sign the midfielder from Rennes, making him their second most lucrative signing in history after Tammy Abraham.

Sunderland are set to sign midfielder Enzo Le Fee on loan from Roma. The 24-year-old only joined the Serie A side in a €23million move in July but has gone on to make just 10 appearances and only six starts.
