Roma break through only at the death

AS Roma came from behind to beat Atalanta 2-1 after Éderson's 47th-minute opener. They had 39 shots yet found no way through until the 89th minute, with Marco Carnesecchi making nine saves at the other end.

A substitute finishes what he started

Matías Soulé, on for 36 minutes, set up Mario Hermoso's equaliser in the 89th minute and then scored the winner himself after Paulo Dybala's pass in the 90th. That goal, which turned 1-1 into 2-1, was worth +1.8 FN xPts. Roma moved from third to first on nine points.

Player of the match
Mario Hermoso 9.0Dominant

He scored, made four key passes and had eight defensive actions across 90 minutes.

Hermoso's eight defensive actions were the most of any player in the match, and he added four key passes from defence. His 89th-minute equaliser ended Roma's deficit and set up Soulé's winner a minute later.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
