Berke Ozer's heroics occurred in the final 10 minutes

Lille goalkeeper the Turkish keeper dramatically saved three straight penalties in the final moments of their Europa League victory over AS Roma.

The French side led through Haraldsson's sixth-minute finish after he capitalised on an mistake to score.

However hosts Roma were given the perfect chance to level the scores and secure a tie when they were awarded an 80th-minute spot-kick after handball by Aissa Mandi.

Replacement Dovbyk stepped forward to execute the spot-kick but his effort was stopped, only for official the referee to order a retake after the keeper was ruled to have stepped off his line.

Dovbyk took the kick again only to be stopped a second time by the visiting keeper, but this time the Turkey player was judged to have stepped forward too early.

The duty to execute the third kick was then passed to Soule, but he too was denied by the Lille keeper and on this occasion the save stood to help secure the French team's victory.

AS Roma manager Gasperini stated afterwards: "I've never seen 3 failed penalties in a single game. It was an almost unprecedented freak situation, which in the end influenced the outcome."
