Roma have fought back from a goal down to beat Chievo 3-1 and keep the pressure on Serie A leaders Juventus.

The visitors found themselves ahead in the 37th minute with Jonathan de Guzman’s diving header which was cancelled out just before the break when Stephan El Shaarawy curled a free kick into the top corner.

The hosts doubled their lead five minutes after the interval as Edin Dzeko bagged his 21st goal of the season, before Diego Perotti scored from the penalty spot in stoppage time to seal victory.
