MILAN (AP) \u2014 Roma bounced back from a controversial weekend loss to Atalanta on Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Lecce in Serie A.<\/p>\n

The move moves Roma into fourth place, three points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan, although the three teams above them have all played two fewer games than Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.<\/p>\n

Roma are three points ahead of Como and Juventus, who earlier won 3-0 in Pisa. The Bianconeri then played at Sassuolo.<\/p>\n

Gasperini was angry at the referee’s decision during the match. Saturday’s loss to former team<\/span>.<\/p>\n

However, Lecce came back as Roma took the lead in the 14th minute with a well-worked move that ended with Evan Ferguson controlling Paulo Dybala’s fake pass and firing into the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n

Roma doubled their lead in the 71st minute after a corner kick from Nicolo Pisilli was converted by Artem Dovvik who converted an angled drive from close range.<\/p>\n

Dobvik grabbed the soles of his feet and pulled himself up before limping off the field late.<\/p>\n

Lecce, who managed a draw with Juventus at the weekend, remain in 16th place.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Como switched to a style that allowed them to defeat a resolute Pisa side.<\/p>\n

Maximo Perrone broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, Anastasios Duvicas doubled Como’s lead eight minutes later and Jean Butes saved Mbala Nzola’s penalty to deny Pisa a return to the game.<\/p>\n

Dvikas had further success from the penalty spot in stoppage time to wrap up the match for Como.<\/p>\n

Pisa only had three safety points left.<\/p>\n
