Roma produced a dramatic fightback to reach the Europa League semi-finals, as a late Paulo Dybala strike set up a 4-1 extra-time win over Feyenoord.
After Feyenoord had won the first leg 1-0 in Rotterdam, Roma pushed for the opening goal from the start. Chances came and went before Leonardo Spinazzola poked the ball home on the hour mark, leading to roars of relief around the Stadio Olimpico.
Centre-back Chris Smalling was forced off with a thigh injury, and moments later Feyenoord grabbed what looked like an aggregate winner.
Sebastian Szymanski’s cross was flicked into the net by Igor Paixão, the Brazilian winger left unmarked inside the area. Dybala had other ideas, finishing well from a tight angle to take the tie to extra time.
