3-4
Match Report
The Giallorossi went 1-0 through Tammy Abraham before Paulo Dybala levelled matters in the 18th minute.
Roma then struck twice early on after half-time through Henrikh Mkhitaryan and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, who bent in a glorious free-kick from range.
But Juve mounted an incredible comeback, scoring three goals in seven minutes.
Summer signing Manuel Locatelli pulled one back, Dejan Kulusevski notched the equaliser and then Mattia De Sciglio completed the dramatic turnaround in the 77th minute.
That wasn't the end of the drama, though. Matthijs de Ligt was sent off for handling the ball in the area and a penalty was awarded to the hosts.
Pellegrini stepped up but unlike his previous set-piece effort, the Italian's spot-kick was tame and Wojciech Szczęsny saved before the rebound was put wide.
