The newspapers were unanimous in their praise for one man, following Roma's 3-1 victory over Sassuolo on Wednesday.
Spoiler alert: It's more good reading for Edin Dzeko and his fans, after the striker added his ninth and tenth goals of the campaign at the Mapei Stadium...
Il Corriere della Sera: Edin Dzeko 8
“Hit the crossbar, scored his ninth and tenth goals of the season and won himself a penalty. He’s the [Gonzalo] Higuain of the season so far.”
Il Corriere dello Sport: Edin Dzeko 8
“Gave Roma a goal threat as they were pushing on the accelerator and helped maintain possession. Made no mistake from [Mohamed] Salah’s assist. Won and converted a penalty late on, strengthening his position as top scorer with ten goals."
La Gazzetta dello Sport: Edin Dzeko 8
“Seemed a little off the pace early on, but then produced a majestic display. Scored his third brace of the season to take him to ten goals – one a game. Also hit the crossbar and started the move that led to the third goal. King Edin.”
Il Messaggero: Edin Dzeko 8
“One of those games where he would have been criticised had he not scored. Messed up a few passes, controls and shots, but then sparked into life to bag the opener before winning and converting a penalty to grab his tenth of the season. A proper centre-forward.”
Il Tempo: Edin Dzeko 8.5
“Had to put his body about more than usual to help the team to raise the tempo. Like [Radja] Nainggolan, he hit the crossbar, before scoring the equaliser and winning and scoring a penalty to give his side the lead.”
TuttoSport: Edin Dzeko 7.5
“Scored two goals, hit the crossbar, won a penalty and much more besides.”
