Soccer: Dybala gives Roma boss Juric some respite

1-0 win over Torino eases pressure on under-fire coach

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 1 - Argentina forward Paulo Dybala was on target to earn AS Roma a 1-0 home win over Torino on Thursday and give some respite to under-fire coach Ivan Juric.
    Dybala capitalized on a mix-up in defence to squeeze the ball in from a tight angle on 20 minutes.
    Croatian Juric was called in after Roma sacked club legend Daniele De Rossi last month but his arrival has not revived the team's fortunes so far and many fans were demanding his head following last weekend's 5-1 drubbing at Fiorentina.
    Roma are currently 10th with 13 points from 10 games, 12 points behind leaders Napoli, who beat AC Milan 2-0 at San Siro on Tuesday.
    Fiorentina continued their strong form, beating bottom side Genoa 1-0 away.
    They are fourth with 19 points.
    Fifth-placed Lazio also have 19 points thanks to a 5-1 win at Como on Thursday. (ANSA).
