Roma's 3-0 win over Udinese

With a 3-0 victory over Udinese on Sunday—which also saw a penalty saved—Roma solidified third place in the Serie A standings. The home team's goals came from Edoardo Bove, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and substitute Tammy Abraham, while Udinese forward Roberto Pereyra had a terrible day after giving up a penalty and having a spot-kick saved. After both AC Milan and Inter Milan lost points on Saturday, Roma surpassed them by three points and five points, respectively. The Champions League is open to the top four teams in Serie A.

The only team to win after taking part in European play in the middle of the week was Roma, as Juventus and Serie A leader Napoli both drew on Saturday and Juventus fell 1-0 at Sassuolo earlier on Sunday. Roma had won its previous two Serie A games without giving up a goal, but had suffered a Europa League defeat midweek against Feyenoord.
