Gian Piero Gasperini feels the late victory over Atalanta means Roma 'really believe' and have more options off the bench. 'The quality has increased.'
It was turning into an extremely frustrating evening for the Giallorossi, who dominated the match at the Stadio Olimpico without making any of it count, trailing to an Ederson strike against the run of play.
After several Marco Carnesecchi saves, and Santiago Castro hitting the woodwork twice, they finally made their mark in added time.
First the looping Mario Hermoso header went in off the inside of the far post from a corner, then Matias Soulé drilled into the near bottom corner for a 2-1 victory.
