Roma take victory over Spezia
Jose Mourinho’s Roma won for the first time in three Serie A matches as
they defeated Spezia on Monday.
Chris Smalling headed Roma ahead when he converted after Tammy
Abraham’s earlier header following a corner.
Abraham later hit the crossbar before Roger Ibanez added a second goal
against Spezia after 10 minutes of the second half.
But Roma, who move up to sixth, ended the game with 10 men when
substitute Felix Afena-Gyan was shown a second yellow card late on after a
handball.
Roma had suffered successive league defeats against Bologna and Inter
Milan earlier this month.
After 17 matches, Roma are 12 points behind Serie A leaders Inter and play
at third-placed Atalanta on Saturday.
