Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini scored twice to stun Roma
and prevent them from moving back into first place in Serie A.
Roma captain Francesco Totti opened the scoring in the 14th minute
before Pazzini restored parity early in the second half. With Roma
looking to reclaim the lead, Pazzini struck on a fast counter-attack
with five minutes remaining to silence a jam-packed Stadio Olimpico.
With the win, Samp climbed into fourth place - the last Champions
League qualifying spot. Roma now go into the final three games trailing
league leaders Inter Milan by two points.
