A double from Veretout strengthens Roma in Europa League positions

A Jordan Veretout double, both with a penalty, gave the victory to the Rome (2-1) by Paulo Fonseca against the Fiorentina Giuseppe Lachini to hold onto the fifth place that gives you the ticket to next year's Europa League. Milenkovic gave hope to the violas in the second half but Frenchman Veretout signed the sentence at the edge of the game.

The Romanists had absolute control of the first time where they generated a large number of occasions. They were chipping stone little by little and undermining the morale of Fiorentina, unrecognizable in the field. First, the winger Spinazzola warned in the 37th minute with a shot with his left leg that stopped goalkeeper Terracciano, and was followed by the shot by Pellegrino in the 41st minute. Roma finally tipped the balance in 44 'with the goal of Jordan Veretout, ex de la Fiore, who transformed a penalty to put his own (1-0) ahead in the Olympic. He could put land in the middle of the edge of the first half with the goal of defender Mancini, but the referee invalidated the goal for offside.

In the second half Fiorentina recovered and managed to tie (1-1) in 53 'with the header of defender Milenkovic, who took advantage of a magnificent corner corner. It was the first arrival of the viola, since in the first half he could not even approach the area of ​​the Spanish goalkeeper Pau López.

L
to Rome he did not lower his arms at all and re-imposed his football on the grass. Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a very clear double chance, first with a very strong shot that Terracciano cleared, and act and followed with a lash that crashed into the post. It was not until 87 'when Roma certified their victory after the goal of Veretout, great protagonist of the night.
