Vincenzo Iaquinta found the net with a smart header three minutes from time to give Juventus a 2-2 draw with Roma on Sunday.

The draw kept Roma in first place with ten points while Juve stayed sixth with seven points.

Iaquinta ghosted in front his marker at the near post to connect with a long throw-in and send a lofted header past the Roma keeper with his back to the goal.

Juventus initially took the lead in the 17th minute when David Trezeguet connected with a fine cross to head home.

But two goals from Francesco Totti in the space of six minutes gave Roma the advantage before the end of the first-half.

The Roma captain rounded a challenger before slotting the ball past Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon in the 30th minute before tucking home on the rebound for the second goal.

Alessandro Del Piero slammed a penalty-kick over the bar three minutes into the second half after Pavel Nedved was brought down inside the area.
