Serie A: Roma beat Atalanta 2-1 as Inter stage a dramatic comeback against Napoli

Roma looked set to rue a night of missed chances, but two goals in stoppage time turned an apparent defeat against Atalanta into a 2-1 victory.

The visitors struck first shortly after halftime, when Ederson took advantage of a lapse in Roma's defense and silenced a sold-out Olimpico. Roma had controlled much of the first half, with headers from Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, a disallowed goal by Evan Ndicka and a save from Marco Carnesecchi denying Donyell Malen. Gianluca Scamacca produced Atalanta's clearest first-half threat, but Mile Svilar blocked his powerful effort.

Roma's frustration grew after the interval. Carnesecchi continued to frustrate the hosts, while Atalanta threatened to extend its lead through Lazar Samardzic and Kristovic. Substitute Castro also hit the post and later the crossbar, as Roma's pressure repeatedly failed to produce an equalizer.

The breakthrough finally came in the 90th minute. Soulé delivered Roma's 14th corner, and Hermoso headed in to revive a match that appeared to be over. Soulé then completed the turnaround, sparking celebrations among the home supporters and handing coach Maurizio Sarri a bitter return to the stadium where he once coached Lazio.

Atalanta's anger boiled over after the final whistle, with Gaetano sent off. Roma will return to Champions League action in five days, carrying the momentum of a comeback that extended its perfect start to three matches.
