Bove Hit By Bottle

All three red cards came after a worrying incident in the 76th minute that saw Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove hit by a glass beer bottle thrown from the crowd.

Bove was struck as he was leaving the field to make way for substitute Stephan El Shaarawy.

The bottle hit Bove on the back of his neck before he picked it up off the ground and threw it away from the pitch.
