Late Dzeko strike pinches a point off impressive Samp

An injury-time equaliser from Edin Dzeko denied Sampdoria three hard-earned points against Roma in the sides’ rearranged Week 3 fixture on Wednesday.

Fabio Quagliarella’s first-half penalty looked to have got the job done for the Blucerchiati, before the Bosnian popped up at the death time to claim a share of the spoils.
