Lille shot-stopper the Turkish keeper dramatically denied 3 straight penalties in the final moments of their Europa League triumph over Roma.

Lille took the lead through Hakon Arnar Haraldsson's early goal after he took advantage of an mistake to find the net.

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

Replacement Artem Dovbyk took responsibility to take the spot-kick but his effort was blocked, only for referee Erik Lambrechts to order a do-over after Ozer was judged to have stepped off his line.

Dovbyk took the kick again only to be stopped a second time by the visiting keeper, but on this occasion the Turkish player was judged to have stepped ahead prematurely.

The duty to execute the third effort was then given to Soule, but he also was saved by Ozer and on this occasion the save counted to help secure the French team's victory.

Roma boss Gasperini commented following the match: "I've never seen 3 missed penalties in a single game. It was an almost unique freak occurrence, which finally influenced the result."
