However, Cristiano Ronaldo found the equalizer at the brink of the break, scoring a flawless penalty.
Soon after, Veretout once again restored the lead as he completed his brace, this time benefitting from Henrik Mkhitaryan’s assist.
Rabiot couldn’t have imagined such a gruesome day at the office as he was sent off for the second yellow card around the hour mark.

Andrea Pirlo would be pondering over what went wrong while Roma would be happy with the result after a bitter start to Serie A, losing against Hellas Verona in matchday 1.
