'At home in any era': Eight papers have their say on Napoli 1-3 Roma

Much like in our previous win over Inter, once again the Italian press have singled out one name in particular for praise. Let's hear their take on the game.

Corriere dello Sport - Dzeko: 8

“The statistics on are on his side and - above all if compared to a year ago - they're incredible. That's now seven goals in eight league appearances, compared to just one from the same number last term. It's the first time in his career that he's struck seven in the opening eight league games. He's scoring now but that's not the only difference. He's now a cog in the Roma machine, he makes the right runs and has that mean streak."

Corriere della Sera - Dzeko: 9

“A sixth and seventh goal this term, whereas he hit eight in total last season. A comprehensive performance - he scored, held the ball up and drew fouls."

Gazzetta dello Sport - Dzeko: 8

“Dzeko's double ended his away-day hoodoo - his first two goals on the road. A proper centre forward, great work in the box on the break."

Il Messaggero - Dzeko: 9

“He could have scored another two goals and we'd have called him Marco van Basten. He's the modern number 9, at home in any era because he scores goals. Perfect and a match winner."

Il Giornale - Dzeko: 8

“Another brace, he's on fire."

La Nazione - Dzeko: 8

“Where are they hiding now all those who claimed 'he's not a goalscorer'? The world-class striker is back."

Repubblica - Dzeko: 7,5

“He competed for every ball and won the match with two goals, opening his account on the road."

Il Tempo - Dzeko: 8

“He read the game well, played on the shoulder and missed a good chance. Then he upped the tempo, started to compete and won the match with two goals."
