Totti and Riise increase pressure on under-fire Ferrara

Roma came from behind to secure a 2-1 win that piled the pressure on Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara. Veteran forward Alessandro Del Piero gave the home side the lead with a fine goal in the 51st minute. But Roma's leading Serie A scorer Francesco Totti equalised from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. Juve lost goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to a red card in the 83rd minute before John Arne Riise clinched the points for Roma deep in stoppage time. The win takes Roma to within two points of second-placed AC Milan and leaves Juve at risk of dropping as low as eighth this weekend.
