Roma 0-1 Lille – Super-Dud Dovbyk lets Giallorossi down in Player Ratings – Football Italia

Roma were disappointing this evening and lacked a killer instinct as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Lille at the Stadio Olimpico in their Europa League tie.

An early goal from Icelandic forward Haraldsson gave the visitors a lead which they clung onto with dear life as they survived a relentless Roma assault.

Dovbyk flops in Roma loss

Gian Piero Gasperini made a number of subs to inject life into the game, including replacing Evan Ferguson with Artem Dovbyk.

The Ukrainian forward had his chance to make his mark almost immediately, when a Lille handball gave the Giallorossi a penalty.

However, Dovbyk had not only one but two penalties saved – both of which had to be retaken due to encroachment. Matias Soule took the third penalty, which was once again saved by Lille hero Ozer.
