The Friulani had kept three consecutive clean sheets, but had conceded within five minutes at the Stadio Olimpico when Veretout met Gianluca Mancini’s cross.

The referee pointed to the spot when Juan Musso caught Henrikh Mkhitaryan, although the goalkeeper complained the shot had already been taken, and Veretout confirmed his perfect penalty record.

Musso and Pau Lopez had to make some excellent reaction saves, but in stoppages Pedro Rodriguez finished off another fine team move.
