Football news -Last-gasp winner sends AS Roma third after Spezia thriller

A stoppage-time winner from Lorenzo Pellegrini sealed a 4-3 Serie A win for AS Roma against Spezia on Saturday to move the capital club into third place and earn revenge for their midweek cup defeat at the hands of the visitors. The win moved Roma into third in the table.

Lorenzo Pellegrini grabbed a late winner for Roma as they beat Spezia 4-3 on Saturday.

Borja Mayoral's opener was cancelled out by Roberto Piccoli, but three goals in six second-half minutes from Mayoral, Roma wing-back Rick Karsdorp and Spezia forward Diego Farias set up a frantic finale.

Substitute Daniele Verde thought he had earned a stunning draw in the 90th minute when he pounced on a Chris Smalling error to score. But Pellegrini swept in a winner with seconds left on the clock to avenge Tuesday's 4-2 Coppa Italia defeat.
