Overview
- Evan Ferguson opened the scoring in the 14th minute from a Paulo Dybala pass as Roma won 2-0 away to Lecce.
- The Ireland striker has three Serie A goals and five in all competitions, with four goals in his last six matches.
- Roma climbed to fourth in the table with the victory, bouncing back after their weekend defeat.
- Ferguson was withdrawn around the hour and Artem Dovbyk later added the second goal for Roma.
- Speculation over an early end to his season-long loan had followed a slow start and public criticism, but Brighton CEO Paul Barber said a January return is very unlikely.
