AS Roma got their faltering Serie A title bid back on track with a 2-0 win at Lecce on Tuesday, where Irish striker Evan Ferguson and substitute Artem Dovbyk were on the scoresheet.

Roma, who suffered their fourth defeat in six league matches in a 1-0 loss at Atalanta on Saturday, did enough to see off a Lecce side which had held Juventus to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
