Torino 1-1 Roma: Lopez Converts Stoppage Time Penalty To Win Point For Host

Roma had thought an end to their winless run had come but a surprise springed up in added stopage time when the referee pointed to the spot in the box after a fowl. Maxi Lopez picked it up and scored for the hosts which ensured that Roma are now winless in three matches.

Torino were grateful to a stoppage-time penalty from Maxi Lopez as they salvaged a 1-1 draw with Roma in a dramatic finale in Serie A on Saturday.

The Argentinian came off the bench midway through the second half at the Stadio Olimpico, and saw his side fall behind to Miralem Pjanic's free-kick seven minutes from time.

ROMA'S WINNING RUN ENDS

Roma's seemingly unstoppable surge towards matching a 53-year-old European record finally came to an end at Torino as their former player Alessio Cerci forced a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Had the runaway Serie A leaders clinched an 11th straight win they would have lived up to Tottenham's achievement of the 1960-61 season, in which Spurs opened a double-winning campaign with the same run of victories before drawing with Manchester City. Still a good run and they are still 3 points ahead on the table. Welldone boys.
