ROME - Gianluca Mancini's late header saved Roma from a home defeat on Sunday as the Giallorossi held Inter Milan in a 2-2 thriller.

Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the win deep into stoppage time for Juventus as the talisman burst into the box and fired home from a tight angle

Roma was on a winning streak before Sunday's game, while Inter saw its winning streak came to an end in midweek.

The home side took the lead in the 16th minute as Lorenzo Pellegrini's attempt from the edge of the box took a slight deflection off Alessandro Bastoni to go beyond a helpless Samir Handanovic.

After the break, Inter turned around the game in a span of seven minutes, as Milan Skriniar scored a powering header before Achraf Hakimi curled into the net.

Roma poured forward in the dying minutes and it paid off in the 86th minute as Gonzalo Villar crossed from the right, Mancini looped his header into the far corner.

Inter now ranks second with 37 points, three points behind AC Milan, but also three ahead of third-placed Roma.

Juventus continued its winning streak after a 3-1 home win over 10-man Sassuolo despite Weston Mckennie and Paulo Dybala's injuries.
