Serie A | Parma 2-3 Roma: Malen secures incredible comeback victory Roma scraped an extraordinary 3-2 thriller at the 101 st minute with a Donyell Malen penalty after Parma had turned it around to lead 2-1 at the 87 th . The Giallorossi were right back in the push for Champions League football after thrashing Fiorentina 4-0 , but the pressure was on after Juventus won 1-0 away to Lecce last night. Paulo Dybala started with Donyell Malen and Matias Soulé for only the second time after January 25, with Lorenzo Pellegrino, Bryan Zaragoza, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson injured, but Neil El Aynaoui returned from suspension.
The Ducali were already safe, but missed Adrian Bernabé, Gaetano Oristanio and Matija Frigan. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Roma did score moments later, as Manu Kone intercepted in midfield, Dybala’s one-touch pass laid it off perfectly for Malen to beat the on-rushing Suzuki.

(Photo by Alessandro Sabattini/Getty Images) Mario Hermoso flashed a dangerous ball across the face of goal just beyond Malen, then Soulé should’ve made it 2-0 when his free header thumped the far post on a Dybala cross. Mile Svilar was almost caught out by a poor Evan Ndicka back-pass, forced to make a desperate tackle on Gabriel Strefezza, while there was nobody ready to meet the Emanuele Valeri roll across and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia blasted off target.
