Roma ended a run of three Serie A games without a win as they secured a 1-0 victory at home to Bologna on Wednesday evening.

Had a good opportunity as the ball fell to him inside the box following a corner but he failed to get the strike on target with a poor attempt. Subbed off in the second half for Edoardo Bove. Tasked with dealing with the threat of Riccardo Orsolini but did struggle a little up against him here. Was a little rash and picked up the first yellow card of the game for a poor challenge. Made a vital challenge to deny substitute Niklas Pyyhtia late on in the match during added time. Lorenzo Pellegrini converted brilliantly from the spot in what would turn out to be the only goal of the match.
