Jose Mourinho and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both failed to impress during Roma’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Sampdoria yesterday.
The Giallorossi took a while to find a breakthrough, with Eldor Shomurodov finally finding the back of the net after 72 minutes. Unfortunately for the Roman side, their evening was spoilt only eight minutes later, when Manolo Gabbiadini scored an equaliser to tie things up in the Italian capital.
Roma’s draw means that Juventus have leapfrogged them in the Serie A table, and the Giallorossi now sit 6th, six points behind 4th place Atalanta. The team will be looking to rest and recuperate during the Christmas break ahead of their next match against Milan on January 6. Following that game, they’ll face Juventus on January 9, meaning Mourinho and his squad have a tough start to 2022.
