AS Roma booked an important victory in Serie A on Monday evening. The home match against Torino was won 3-2 thanks to a hat trick from Paulo Dybala. Substitute Dean Huijsen brought back the tension shortly before the end with an own goal. With the victory, Roma consolidates sixth place, Torino remains tenth.
Particularities:
Roma were awarded a penalty just before half time after Saba Sazonov committed a foul on Sardar Azmoun. Dybala took his responsibility and sent Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic into the wrong corner from eleven meters: 1-0. A few minutes later, the visitors leveled the score again. Raoul Bellanova crossed for Duván Zapata, who nodded in: 1-1.
Dybala brilliantly put the Romans ahead again in the second act by curling a ball into the long corner from about 25 meters: 2-1. The Argentinian then completed his hat-trick after a double one-two with Lukaku: 3-1. Huijsen, who replaced Chris Smalling in the 78th minute, scored a clumsy own goal just before regular time expired: 3-2.
