Former Inter player and currently Sampdoria manager Dejan Stankovic sounded upset with today's defeat in Rome.

“It’s a shame that we went down to 10 men,” he told DAZN after the final whistle. “I liked the lads, we played a great game, we didn’t suffer too much against a team like Roma who are aiming to go to the Champions League.” “I congratulate the boys on how they held the pitch, I don’t comment on the episodes , I leave the comments to the experts, nothing will change for me, the regret remains.”

Roma are now third in the Serie A table, while Sampdoria is in 19th. In the early stages of the second half, Sampdoria were reduced to ten men and quickly Wijnaldum gave them the lead with a header. Wijnaldum went closest to opening the scoring in the first half but his strike came back off the post.

Georginio Wijnaldum scored and won a penalty for Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening as they wrapped up a comfortable 3-0 win over Sampdoria.

It didn’t take long after the dismissal before Roma managed to take the lead through Wijnaldum, with Matic finding him with a cross from the left. Dybala converted the penalty with a composed finish. The defender had made a clumsy challenge on Tammy Abraham and Sampdoria’s issues at the back worsened, already being without the likes of Koray Gunter and Bram Nuytinck from the off. Nicola Zalewski tested the goal with a well-hit strike from range before Lorenzo Pellegrini fired on the rebound. He would be denied by the post as the Giallorossi appeared to be getting closer and closer to taking the lead. Paulo Dybala doubled the lead late on from the spot, before Stephan El Shaaraway added a third late on in injury time.

A crucial Europa League fixture against Feyenoord follows that in midweek, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed that the Giallorossi don’t overlook a league fixture that could easily morph into a trap game. In addition, usual super-sub SES played the full-90 this time around, killing the game off with a gorgeous shot that was assisted by substitute Ola Solbakken. Sure, you could argue Roma would be the likely winners regardless, but I think the lesson here is the importance of maintaining discipline; that issue has now determined Roma’s last three Serie A results. It remains to be seen whether the Giallorossi will extend Gini’s stay in the Italian capital, but with performances like these, it’d be a no-brainer for Roma. And, of course, in the match before against Sassuolo, the Giallorossi’s comeback bid was derailed by yet another red card, this time with Marash Kumbulla being the party responsible. Roma returns to action next Saturday on the road against Torino.
