Tonight is derby night all around Europe by the looks of it, but the first goal has come from the Blues in Rome in the big Serie A game.

The Blues and the Reds aren’t only facing off in Manchester tonight, the two clubs in Rome who also sport those colours are also involved in a clash as Roma take on Lazio.
Brazilian playmaker Hernanes has given the visitors in blue a great start to the game as he smashed in this beautiful shot past Maarten Stekelenburg.
The extremely highly rated Brazilian has been on the radar of some pretty big clubs recently, in particular Barcelona, so performing on the big stage in a huge game like this will most certainly help his case, as well as increase his transfer price.
This derby is a very spicy affair, and there have already been reports of two fans being stabbed outside the ground, so here’s hoping that they’re ok and there’s no further trouble.
