AS Roma kept pace in the Serie A title race with a narrow 1-0 win over Como, moving to within three points of leaders Inter Milan.

The hosts struggled to break down a stubborn Como side in a low-key first half, with clear chances at a premium.

Roma improved after the break and eventually found the breakthrough when Wesley fired home from close range following a cross from Devyne Rensch.

Despite the slender margin, Roma looked in control once ahead and protected their lead to maintain their perfect record when scoring first this season.

The result keeps Roma firmly in contention for their first Scudetto in 24 years, while Como again showed they are still a step below Serie A’s leading sides.
