Torino RomaTorino coach Giampiero Ventura admits to being angry at his side after they capitulated in the dying moments against Roma.

Andrea Belotti and Josef Martinez scored for the visitors, but Kostas Manolas and two from Francesco Totti completed the comeback.

“I’m angry, if we can’t get a result at Roma after being in front in the dying minutes, then I don’t think we ever will,” Ventura told Sky Sport Italia.

The Granata came into the fixture off the back of three consecutive Serie A victories and will be disappointed not to have extended it.

“We had some good moments in the game, but we lost our way in the last twenty minutes and that’s what makes me angry,” Ventura added.

Francesco Totti came on and score within 22 seconds, before completing the miraculous turnaround from the penalty spot.

“If you wanted to make a film in tribute [to Francesco Totti] then his display was the epilogue, I’m happy for him,” Ventura claimed.

“I am friends with [Luciano] Spalletti but tonight Totti has proven he is still a great player.”

Torino slip beneath Genoa now in the Serie A table and are joined by Empoli on 42 points in joint 11th.
