A long-range strike by defender Gianluca Mancini earned AS Roma a 1-0 home win over Juventus in Serie A on Sunday, ending the visitors' unbeaten run of seven games in all competitions.
In a clash which sprang to life after halftime, Mancini sealed the win for Roma in the 53rd minute, sending a powerful low shot from a distance into the bottom left corner and leaving Juve keeper Wojciech Szczesny no chance. Juventus, who had multiple chances to level the score, were left with 10 men just before fulltime when substitute Moise Kean kicked out at Mancini, after the Roma player had grabbed his shirt in a tussle, and got a straight red card one minute after coming on.
Roma moved back into fourth in the standings on 47 points, one point behind Lazio in third and level with AC Milan, in fifth. Juventus dropped one place to eighth on 35 points, seven behind sixth-placed Atalanta who occupy the last European spot.
