Overview
- Roma moved provisionally two points clear of Napoli on 27 points after a 3-1 victory at Cremonese, with Inter’s clash against AC Milan later set to reshape the table.
- Evan Ferguson came off the bench on the hour and scored four minutes later for his first Roma goal, ending an almost 13‑month club scoring drought.
- Gian Piero Gasperini was sent off for dissent in the 62nd minute and will miss next weekend’s home match against champions Napoli due to suspension.
- A first‑half Cremonese penalty for a Gianluca Mancini handball was overturned on VAR review, preserving Roma’s lead before second‑half goals from Ferguson and Wesley.
- Elsewhere, Napoli beat Atalanta 3-1 with a David Neres brace to briefly go top, and Bologna won 3-0 at Udinese as Tommaso Pobega scored twice after Maduka Okoye saved Riccardo Orsolini’s penalty.
