Watch as Juventus got the better of Roma thanks to a bizarre Moise Kean goal he knew little about, but the controversy was all around the penalty incident.
The Bianconeri broke the deadlock with their first real chance, Mattia De Sciglio whipping in a great cross that Rodrigo Bentancur nodded onto the back of Kean’s head, redirecting it in from close range.
Serie A | Juventus 1-0 Roma: Kean, chaos and spot-kick decisive
Referee Daniele Orsato blew the whistle for a penalty as Wojciech Szczesny brought down Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a second before Tammy Abraham put the rebound into the net.
Arguably, he should’ve waited for the move to be completed, but equally it could be said Mkhitaryan’s handball as he fell might’ve seen that goal disallowed and brought it back to the penalty incident anyway.
Regardless, Jordan Veretout saw his 100 per cent spot-kick record for Roma ruined by a Wojciech Szczesny save.
There were chances at both ends, including a Federico Bernardeschi bicycle-kick and decisive block on Matias Vina.
