The Italian newspapers failed to agree on Roma's stand-out performer during Sunday's winner over Genoa - with a number of players catching the eye.

See what was said in the major outlets below...

Corriere dello Sport: Wojciech Szczesny 7.5

“He halted Diego Laxalt after just 48 seconds, dealt well with an awkward Nikola Ninkovic free-kick later on and hurled himself in the way of Lucas Ocampos' effort. He's started the new year where he left off the last, with a star turn."

Il Messaggero: Szczesny 7

“He made saves - in the first half - on a couple of occasions from Laxalt and Ninkovic. He proved crucial late on, clawing away Ocampos' effort on the turn from the edge of the box which was headed for the top corner."

Corriere della Sera: Federico Fazio 7

“Solid as a rock, especially in the air, where he kept Giovanni Simeone quiet. He built well from the back too with tidy feet. He's proving to be a real bargain."

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Szczesny 8

“Wonder save from Ninkovic. He denied Luca Rigoni and Ocampos too although the latter was in an offside position. Stunning on the first chance."

La Repubblica: Szczesny 7

“Three superb stops to secure a clean sheet for Roma. Flawless."

Il Tempo: Radja Nainggolan 7.5

"A whirlwind able to cover any position or task he's assigned. He missed a sitter early on, before proving his worth and his ability to change a game."

Tuttosport: Nainggolan 7

“He's Roma's real driving force. Edin Dzeko hit the post from his pass."
