AS Roma were provisionally top of Serie A on Sunday with a 3-1 win over Cremonese, with Irish striker Evan Ferguson coming off the bench to end his almost 13-month goal drought at club level.
In an action-packed first half, which included a Roma goal disallowed for offside and a Cremonese penalty overturned, the visitor took the lead through Matias Soule’s shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 17th minute.

Ferguson was introduced after an hour and four minutes later the 21-year-old scored his first goal for Roma. Wesley Franca wrapped up the victory after a further five minutes, with Francesco Folino heading in an injury-time consolation goal for the hosts.
Roma is on 27 points, two points ahead of Napoli, which defeated Atalanta 3-1 on Saturday. Inter Milan are third with 24 points, ahead of the match against AC Milan later on Sunday. Cremonese is 12th in the rankings with 14 points.
