Paulo Dybala is the hero for Roma as he has a hand in THREE goals to guide Italians to 5-0 rout over Parma

Paulo Dybala scored twice and set up another goal to get Roma back on track in Serie A with a comfortable 5-0 win over Parma on Sunday.

The Argentine playmaker scored an early penalty and pounced on a rebound from Alexis Saelemaekers’ first shot early in the second half to give Roma only its fifth league win of the season.

Saelemaekers scored with a volley after Dybala’s opener, and Leandro Paredes added another penalty in the 74th, awarded after Saelemaekers was cleared off the ball.

Dybala set up Artem Dovbyk to round out the scoring late on.

Roma seemed to have finally clicked under Claudio Ranieri, the team third coach of the seasonwhen it achieved back-to-back wins over Lecce and Sporting Braga in the league and Europa League. But last weekend they lost 2-0 to promoted Como.

Later on Sunday, Atalanta bid to regain the lead with a record-extending 11th consecutive league win as they hosted Empoli in mid-table. Before Juventus faltered, he had to visit Monza and try to end a run of four consecutive draws.
