Edin Dzeko’s volley allowed Roma to squeeze past Cagliari with a third consecutive 1-0 Serie A win, and a record-breaking run.
The Giallorossi had a surprisingly tough time getting the better of the Sardinians, partly because of bad Diego Perotti and Bruno Peres misses, while Dzeko also thumped the crossbar.
Luciano Spalletti’s men once again managed to win relatively ‘ugly’ to stay in second place.
Joao Pedro received a straight red card in stoppages for his blatant kick on Kevin Strootman.
