Eusebio Di Francesco's side needed to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the quarter-final first leg and they did so in style.
Edin Dzeko opened the scoring after just six minutes as he latched onto a glorious ball over the top from Daniele De Rossi and poked past Marc-Andre ter Stegen
Veteran midfielder De Rossi added his name to the scoresheet and doubled their lead from the penalty spot on the 58th minute.,
The Serie A outfit completed the remarkable comeback on the 82nd minute when Kostas Manolas glanced a header at the near post into the back of the net from a corner.
As the final whistle was blown, the Roma bench flooded the Stadio Olimpico field as home fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Video footage was later released of the players celebrating in the dressing room with Dzeko enjoying the moment with his child as well.
