With 1 more player on the pitch, Jose Mourinho made substitutions and put Lorenzo Pellegrini in the game, who scored the opener in the 76th minute.
In the 86th minute, the away team remained with 9 players on the pitch when superstar Victor Osimhen received 2nd yellow card and was sent off. In the extra time, Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead of AS Roma and secured the 3 points for Mourinho’s side as the Wolves failed to win in any of their previous 2 matches in Serie A.
