Roma

Roma has lost 4-3 at home to Sassuolo in a miserable weekend so far for teams chasing the Champions League qualifying spots from Serie A.

Davide Frattesi’s shot was charged down by Chris Smalling, then Pinamonti’s effort was parried by goalkeeper Rui Patrício but Laurienté tapped in the rebound. Matters went from bad to worse for Roma on the stroke of halftime when Kumbulla was shown a straight red card for a kick at Berardi, who then drilled home the spotkick. Laurienté doubled his and Sassuolo’s tally five minutes later but Roma recovered from the shock to pull one back in the 26th when Zalewski’s volley bounced into the ground and over Consigli. Instead it was Sassuolo which took the lead in the 13th minute as Roma lost the ball in midfield to spark a counterattack. The home side was looking to move level with Inter in second and almost took the lead with less than two minutes on the clock as Wijnaldum was sent clear but he fired straight at Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.
