Victory! Edin Dzeko’s last second brace gives Roma the edge against a good Bologna side. And what a great feeling winning like this!
Roma showed good composure and another great goal by Kolarov from free kick. Yet, Bologna’s equaliser from the penalty spot was a harsh punishment and a game changer.
The Rossoblù went on to push with pace and hard tackles, the referee lost the plot giving several yellow cards to Roma players and hardly any to the opposition. The last straw when the ref failed to notice a clear handball for a certain penalty. VAR did not intervene. An absolute shambles.
In the end, Mancini gets a dubious second yellow card and he’s sent off. 93rd minute. Veretout breaks in for Pellegrini to cross into the head of Edin Dzeko who puts the ball past the keeper. Jubilant scenes. Justice is done. Three points. Never give up. Atalanta next. Bring them on! Daje Roma!
