It was given for Giulio Maggiore kicking Nicolo Zaniolo in the head as the Roma forward struck the bar with a header in the second of two incredible stoppage-time goalmouth scrambles, as Spezia fought tooth and nail to hold off the away side after Kelvin Amian was sent off on the stroke of half-time.

"I don't know what happened today – the ball didn't want to go in! We tried everything … but the most important is we got the goal in the end.
"This was a very important win for us today. Hopefully we can build on this."
