It’s a three-way battle for fourth place: Fabregas’s side have moved into the lead, but it will be a neck-and-neck race right to the end
A goal from Diego Carlos ten minutes from time saw Como beat Roma in the head-to-head clash for qualification for next season’s Champions League, taking a significant step forward in the three-way race with the Giallorossi and Juventus. Fabregas’s side secured all three points, pulling clear of Roma in one fell swoop and overtaking the Bianconeri to move into fourth place on their own with 54 points (five points behind third-placed Napoli). One point behind are Juventus, who won their league fixture away at Udine (goal by Boga), whilst three points behind Como sit Gasperini’s Roma, who, with today’s defeat, have suffered their second consecutive loss following the one against Genoa last weekend.
