Roma conquer Spezia in Serie A

ROME: Headers from Chris Smalling and Roger Ibanez proved decisive for Roma, as the Italian Serie A outfit ended its losing streak by dominating Spezia 2-0 on Monday.

Jose Mourinho's side was coming off two consecutive defeats domestically and in a dire need of a victory.

The home side went ahead just five minutes into the game, as Jordan Veretout's corner was nodded by Tammy Abraham and Smalling followed to head in.

Roma doubled the lead 10 minutes after the break through another corner when Ibanez met Veretout's assist for a bullet header.

The only down side for the Giallorossi was Afena Gyan Felix's red card in the stoppages time, as the starlet's goal was canceled for a deliberate handball and the referee sent him off after another yellow card.

With the win, Roma ranks sixth place with 28 points, and Juventus dropped to seventh on inferior goal difference. Agencies
