Daniele De Rossi: 'Roma got lucky with disallowed Juventus goal'

Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has admitted that Juventus can feel hard done by after Federico Peluso had a goal ruled out in their Coppa Italia clash on Tuesday evening.

Rudi Garcia's side won 1-0 thanks to Gervinho's second half effort, and De Rossi claimed that Juve have a right to feel aggrieved by Peluso's disallowed strike.

He told Rai Sport: "It seemed ok to me on the pitch, but I honestly don't know, as I was at a different angle to the linesman. I hope he made the right decision.

"If this time we were helped, then in other occasions we were penalised, so we'll take it!

"I'll be honest, if I had been on the other team in that situation then I would've protested a lot, because from my position it didn't look out of play,"

Juventus currently lead Roma by eight points at the top of Serie A.
