Roma coach Aurelio Andreazzoli has praised his side for the way they staged a comeback against Lazio in the Rome derby on Monday.

Francesco Totti scored from the penalty spot to earn a point against their rivals at the Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A encounter that finished in a 1-1 draw.

"It was a great night, it's just a shame about the result," Andreazzoli told reporters. "I was nervous in the build-up to the game because the derby doesn't come around that often.

"But once it got going I enjoyed it. I got a bit of a fright when they had that penalty which could have put them 2-0 up.

"It was good to see the team's reaction to that. It's just a pity we couldn't give the fans three points after the chances we had."

Roma are currently seventh in Serie A with 48 points from 31 matches.
