Italy: Roma and Juventus produce thriller
Roma 3 - 4 Juventus
Roma and Juventus produced one of the best games of the season.
The home side with 3-1 up with only 20 minutes left. However, there was a stunning comeback from Juventus.
Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini also had a late penalty saved after Matthijs de Ligt was given a second yellow card for handball.
The win keeps Juventus in fifth place, but they are only three points behind Atalanta. Roma stay in eighth place, and Jose Mourinho said his side suffered a psychological collapse.
