Rome: Roma defeated Juventus in an important game for the Roman team. They won 1-0 courtesy of a goal by Gianluca Mancini in the 53rd minute as they looked to bounce back from a surprising defeat to Cremonese a week before.
Moise Kean sent off after just 40 seconds
With the Bianconeri trailing by a single goal Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri decided to make a substitution that would perhaps change his and the team’s fortune and he decided to bring on Moise Kean in the 89th Minute.
However, Moise Kean was sent off after just 40 seconds of his coming to the pitch when he committed a foul in Roma’s half and the referee saw it and gave him a straight red card.
Allegri’s Reaction after the game.
Allegri looked bemused as Kean walked off the pitch and you can’t blame him.
Mancini’s reaction was delayed and he definitely exaggerated the contact.
But, regardless, Kean’s actions were indefensible and certainly worthy of a red card. He was provoked but you cannot react like that.
Roma jump into the top four
Roma has gone above AC Milan and into fourth place in Serie A after defeating Juventus.
Jose Mourinho’s side has collected 47 points from their opening 25 games. They are just three points behind Inter Milan in the second.
Juventus, meanwhile, are eighth and are now a distant 12 points behind Roma.
