The early Giallorossi pressure paid off as Gatti cleared Cristante's shot off the line, but only into the path of Lukaku to tap in the rebound.
The Bianconeri equalised thanks to Bremer, who towered above the crowd, jumping sky-high on Chiesa's cross.
Chiesa was close to turning it around straight after the second-half restart, but his almost perfect shot hit the post, bounced across the face of the goal and back out.
Chiesa and Rabiot both tested impeccable Svilar, while Kristensen was inches away from scoring on the other end, only for Danilo to perform a goal-line clearance and save his team.
In added time, Szczesny had to make himself big in a one-on-one with Tammy Abraham to prevent the Roma winner in this excellent match.
