Jose Mourinho in heated rows with Napoli stars Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen before Nigerian star gets sent off and Roma secure 2-0 win against nine-man Serie A champions

Roma picked up a crucial win in Serie A on Saturday as they beat reigning champions Napoli 2-0 courtesy of goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Romelu Lukaku. The fiercely contested clash saw two Napoli players - Matteo Politano and Osimhen - sent off in the second half as the defending champions were reduced to nine men towards the end of the match.

The game also witnessed Mourinho clashing with Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia on the touchline during the match. The Portuguese was seen shouting at Kvaratskhelia as the veteran manager demanded respect from the youngster.

Napoli have now conceded six goals in their last two appearances across all competitions as they find themselves seventh in the league with 27 points from 17 matches. Roma, on the other hand, are now sixth after Saturday's win.

Under Mourinho's tutelage, Roma came back strongly after a 2-0 defeat against Bologna last week. They will now aim to pick up yet another win as they face Juventus on December 30.
