Brilliant defending by Manolas to prevent a goal and Roma swept downfield for Gervinho to cut back to Pjanic who was inches wide from the edge of the 6-yard box.
This is some game.

Manolas.
I wouldn’t have taken Iturbe off. Florenzi came on for him a while ago.
Destro for Totti now.
2-2. "74.
Morata header clips the bar.
Keita has been imperious today.
Come on Roma.
Skorupski is giving me the jitters.
Outstanding covering from Holebas! Ah shit.
Well fuck that.
Incredible volley by Bonucci.
That should have been ruled out for offside.
Woof
Manolas has fire in him.
Red cards for Manolas and Morata.
Morata had been acting the thug since he came on.
Bitter pill to swallow, guys.
Don’t think our subs were smart tonight, none of them had an impact and they took of Iturbe, Totti and Pjanic who were all playing well. None of Juve’s three goals should have stood however, it will be interesting to hear Rudi’s comments after the game.
Great game, we were unlucky. Hopefully we can get a few players back fit after the break, Manolas probably banned for the next 3 league games so Astori and Castan will hopefully have recovered.
Francesco Totti was furious after Roma lost 3-2 to Juventus, noting “by hook or by crook they always win.”
There were three penalties in this game and two red cards, but both Bianconerispot-kicks were right on the line.
“It’s a huge shame after a good performance,” Totti told Sky Sport Italia.
“We came to Turin to play our game, but you saw what happened and that affected the match.
“For years the same old incidents keep happening. I don’t know if we were beaten by referees, but we certainly were not beaten by Juventus tonight.
“Yes, we are angry, but also aware we are a great team and must lift our heads straight away.
“This was a match we really cared about, but Juventus ought to have their own League, as by hook or by crook they always win.
“Are we back to the same doubts? I am not the only one saying this, as these are things everyone in Italy should discuss.
“With Juventus when there is any doubt whatsoever, it’s always a penalty. I have to stop now, as if I keep talking then I’ll get suspended.”
Rudi said that the penalty box at one end of Juventus Stadium appears to be 19-yards long.
Up your bollox Roman scum… The Old Lady sings again.
