Giampiero Ventura said Torino played an “extremely intelligent” game to hold Roma 1-1.

The Granata fought back from a contentious Alessandro Florenzi penalty with Maxi Lopez equalising soon after.

“It was not an easy test, because we were facing a Roma side that needed to get points with Lazio breathing down their necks,” Ventura told Rai Sport.

In fact, this result allowed Lazio to leapfrog the Giallorossi into second place.
