It’s brilliant work from @OfficialRadja on his 200th #ASRoma appearance, as he robs the defender, gallops down the left – and puts in a perfect low cross that Schick makes no mistake in turning home first time! Two in two in the league for Patrik! pic.twitter.com/bkO76Aq1HB

Referee Calvarese gives a penalty to Chievo Verona in the 56th minute. The penalty is conceded by defender Juan Jesus after a foul on Chievo forward Roberto Inglese inside the penalty area. Making matters worst, Juan Jesus gets a red card and the team remains with 10 players. Incredible so, Chievo failed to convert the penalty because Roma goalkeeper Alisson saved Roberto Inglese right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
Big moment, big save @Alissonbecker! ?
