next season's Champions League thanks to
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa's late winner in a dramatic
Rome derby.
The former Newcastle defender, 26, rose to head in
Miralem Pjanic's free-kick with five minutes
remaining.
Roma took the lead via Juan Iturbe's close-range
finish before Filip Djordjevic headed in Lazio's
equaliser.
Third-placed Lazio need a point against fourth-
placed Napoli on the last day to seal a Champions
League place.
Rafael Benitez's Napoli team trail Lazio by three
points after losing 3-1 against champions
Juventus on Saturday.
France international Yanga-Mbiwa joined
Newcastle from Montpellier for £6.7m in 2013 but,
after a loan spell with Roma earlier this season,
finalised a permanent move to the Italians for
£5.5m in January.
