Roma, some fans stopped in Brighton: trip ended early, here's what happened
What happened
At the 23rd minute, a dangerous action for Roma was born, with Celik crossing inside for Azmoun. The ball was poorly cleared by a Brighton defender, turning into prey for the Iranian. Instead of controlling the ball, being back to the goal, he decides to volley with a bicycle kick, overcoming Verbruggen and scoring a great goal. In the acrobatics, after hitting the ball, he hits van Hecke on the head, who had dived in a desperate attempt to intercept the ball with his head. The white and blue central defender, as De Rossi also tried to explain, had intervened late lowering his head, but this was not enough for the referee who did not even want to consult the VAR. Dangerous play by Azmoun, thus seeing a great goal disallowed.
