Roma took the lead courtesy a Bryan Cristante strike as the player got the jump on the visiting defence to tuck away Lorenzo Pellegrini's smart free-kick.

It then became 1-1 following a Filip Djuricic effort just before the hour mark and goalkeeper Rui Patricio was called upon multiple times to hold off the comeback.

Stephan El Shaarawy came off the bench and the winger provided the magic with a pinpoint winner in injury time.

Eldor Shomurodov's knockdown fell for nicely El Shaarawy, who placed a curling effort off the inside of the post and into the opposite corner of the goal.

It sparked incredible scenes as Mourinho raced down the touchline to join them and even jumped on striker Tammy Abraham as he got stuck into the mass of limbs.
