Everyone in the team received praise for their individual displays, starting with the evening's opening goalscorer Emerson Palmieri, but the Bosnian forward's three strikes put him head and shoulder above the rest of the competition.
Let's take a look at what the sports dailies had to say about the striker, who is now top scorer in the Europa League as well with eight goals.
Corriere dello Sport: 9
"Wow, wow, wow. The same thing said three times over. He had spoken with Spalletti during the team's final preparations about how one single chance can be decisive. Edin ended up taking three, all in the second half, to celebrate goals no. 26, 27 and 28 for the season in front of the Roma supporters."
Gazzetta dello Sport: 8.5
"Reaffirmed the fantastic form he's currently in, as his hat-trick sank the Yellow Submarine. He has scored for seven matches in a row and has 28 for the season."
Il Messaggero: 9
"A point of strength and quality; it's not easy to get the ball off him. His aim was off early doors, but in the second half he struck thrice. Three beautiful goals, by the way. He's on 28 goals for the season – eight in the Europa League – and takes home the match ball."
Leggo: 9
"He fought against the two pit bulls Victor Ruiz and Mateo Musacchio, who fell for the dummy like a little boy on the second goal. He thrashed one in for 3-0 and then capped it all off with his team's fourth."
Il Tempo: 8.5
"He held up the ball to help his side play further up the pitch and then the spectacle began: he's scored 28 goals this season, finding the net in both league and cups."
