Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to rescue a 2-2 draw for 10-man Juventus, away at AS Roma in the Italian Serie A on Sunday after Jordan Veretout had twice put the capital club in front.
Veretout and Ronaldo scored for both sides via the penalty spot before the break after both teams were penalised for handball, before the French midfielder put Roma ahead with his second of the night in the first-half stoppage time.
Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot was shown a second yellow card to leave the Italian Champions a man down for the final third of the match, but a towering Ronaldo header earned a point for Andrea Pirlo‘s side.
