Roma kept their hopes of progressing from the Europa League group stages alive, with a hard fought 2-1 victory over Fulham at the Stadio Olimpico. Despite the result though, Julio Baptista has urged his team-mates to continue their run of form against Inter in Serie A this weekend.
Roma snatched a late draw against Fulham two weeks ago and they once again had to comeback today, after Kamara opened the scoring. The Giallorossi found two goals through Riise and Okaka to jump ahead of ten-man Fulham in the Group E standings.
Roma went a long way towards jumping out of the bottom half with a 2-1 home win over struggling Bologna. The capital side actually went a goal down early on, but Vucinic and Perrotta provided strikes to help the Giallorossi pick up another vital win...
Simone Perrotta has attempted to calm everyone's nerves ahead of Roma's match on Sunday against Bologna, as the Giallorossi look to end their four-game winless streak. The Italian insists the squad will get out of their slump sooner rather than later.
Earlier this week, around 200 Lazio fans staged a violent protest outside the club's training ground at Formello. According to reports, Roma fans have now followed suit, albeit more peacefully and on a much smaller scale. Click here for details.
Udinese were undone by a last minute screamer at Palermo, while Roma suffered a shock loss to Livorno on the weekend. However, it was Udinese that managed to bounce back with a brace from Floro Flores to win 2-1 over the Giallorossi.
Roma coach, Claudio Ranieri has sided with Fabio Capello's criticism of the state of Italian football after claiming that the Ultras have too much control over Calcio due to the influence they have on their clubs. 'The Tinkerman' used an experience of his own to illustrate his point.
