Roma made it three wins out of three since the Rome derby with a 3-1 win away at Siena.

Luis Neto gave Siena the lead, but hree Roma goals in the second half, two from Mattia Destro and Simone Perrotta gave them the win.

Roma had the first opportunity of the game after six minutes when Alessandro Florenzi effort was deflected over the bar and 15 minutes into the game the Giallorossi had another chance and once again it fell to Florenzi whose low long range effort was parried away by Gianluca Pegolo.

Siena took the lead after 24 minutes and it came from a corner as Neto jumped highest and powered a header past the hand of Mauro Goicoechea and Alessandro Rosina then wasted a header over the bar.

Francesco Totti then had a free-kick from just outside of the area fantastically parried away by Gianluca Pegolo.

The equaliser came for Roma just past the hour and it was Destro with the goal.  Florenzi broke the offside trap and crossed for Destro to head home past Pegolo.

The away side got the second goal they deserved with four minutes remaining and it was the veteran midfielder Perrotta with the goal. A poor clearance from the Siena defence gave the ball to Perrotta who hit a low drive into the bottom corner.

Roma got the third in the first minute of stoppage time and it was on the counter attack as goalkeeper Goicoechea thrown the ball out to Totti who then played in Miralem Pjanic who then crossed in for Destro to score on the angle.
