Francesco Totti is a 38-year-old man, but for a few moments during Sunday’s Rome derby, he was a teenager again. The Roma captain scored twice in the second half to come back from a 2-0 deficit against Lazio and his 64th-minute equalizer was a stunner of a flying karate kick volley at the far post. He then celebrated by taking a selfie with his own phone in front of the Roma fans of the Curva Sud.

Jeremy Menez scores disallowed goal so good that the offside rule should’ve been abolished on the spot
Roma and Milan played out a 0-0 draw on Saturday and yet the match still included a wonderful goal.
