Goals from Alessandro Florenzi, Francesco Totti and Kevin
Strootman, from the penalty spot, moved Roma joint top of Italy's Serie A
thanks to a 3-1 win over Parma on Monday.
With three wins in as many games and level on goal
difference with Napoli, Roma sit just behind Rafael Benitez's leaders but two
points ahead of Inter, Fiorentina and champions Juventus following draws for
all three at the weekend.
Roma travelled north feeling confident having lost just
once to Parma in their last 14 league encounters, and with the carrot of moving
ahead of more authentic title contenders should they win.
