Gian Piero Gasperini insists Roma ‘felt we could win’ the game with Napoli even after going 3-2 down, and is ultimately satisfied with a 3-3 draw. ‘It’s another positive confidence booster.’ The Giallorossi showed they refused to give up after going 2-0 down at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to an acrobatic Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa bicycle kick and Scott McTominay header. They scored twice in five minutes with Matias Soulé and Leonardo Balerdi to claw it back, only to go behind again to a McTominay strike from outside the box.
