It only set up the stage for a sensational comeback as the Old Lady found the back of the net three times in seven minutes to claim all three points..

SPORTbible reports that summer signing Manuel Locatelli pulled one back, Dejan Kulusevski notched the equaliser and then Mattia De Sciglio completed the dramatic turnaround in the 77th minute.

The drama was not over yet as Matthijs de Ligt was sent off for handling the ball in the area and a penalty was awarded to the hosts.

Pellegrini was handed the opportunity to draw his side level, but his effort was tame to trouble Wojciech Szczęsny in goal..

Roma find themselves down to eighth place in Serie A, level on points with city rivals Lazio.

Mourinho linked with Eveton job

Former Tottenham, Man United, and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been linked with a stunning return to the Premier League barely months after his exit.

Mourinho left the English topflight last summer following his sacking at Tottenham, with AS Roma acquiring his services.

The Portuguese could be on his way back to the EPL, with Everton believed to have identified him to succeed Rafa Benitez.

Despite joining Roma in July, the three-time EPL winner is said to be open to a return to England.

Alexis Sanchez linked with Premier League return

Inter Milan have offered Everton the chance to sign winger Alexis Sanchez on a free transfer, according to stunning reports.

There are fears at Goodison Part that Everton might lose star forwards Richarlison or Dominic Calvert Lewin in the January transfer window.

Everton, under Rafa Benitez, have not made the best of starts in the Premier League this season and with half the campaign gone, the gaffer is facing an uphill task of pushing his side away from the bottom half of the log.
