Francesco Totti said goodbye to Roma with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Genoa to take second place, as Diego Perotti netted in stoppages.

The Giallorossi needed a win to take that second automatic Champions League spot and see their captain off in the right way, but it was almost a disaster.

Genoa took a shock lead after just three minutes with 16-year-old Pietro Pellegri, who was born in the same year as Totti’s only Scudetto – 2001.
