Totti scores last-gasp winner after weather delay

Francesco Totti converted a penalty to earn a dramatic 3-2 win for Roma at home against Sampdoria on Sunday as he matched Paolo Maldini's record of playing in 25 Serie A seasons.

After extreme weather conditions in Rome temporarily made the pitch unplayable, the start of the second half was delayed for over an hour.

First, Totti set up fellow half-time substitute Edin Dzeko to level the scores, before Roma were awarded a penalty in the second minute of stoppage time.

The 39-year-old made no mistake and his first goal of the campaign means the former Italy international has now scored in 23 successive Serie A seasons as he continues to break more records.
