Roma 2-1 Inter: Newspapers pick their star of the show

Medai

Goals from Edin Dzeko and Kostas Manolas saw off Inter on Sunday night to secure four home league wins in as many matches for Luciano Spalletti's Roma

This morning's papers have singled out the Bosnian hitman for praise, after he struck his fifth goal of the campaign.

Let's read their verdict...

Corriere della Sera: Dzeko 8

A fifth goal of the season capped off his best performance in a Roma shirt. He controlled everything, worked hard and found team-mates. Massive.

Corriere dello Sport: Dzeko 8

He scored after just five minutes like a true centre forward. A little later he found Mohamed Salah in the box for a potential second. He was always a big part of Roma's football. He created another big opportunity at the end of the first period and Samir Handanovic denied him a second goal a few minutes from time. His best display of the season.

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Dzeko 7.5

Just like the NBA's Allen Iverson, this time he was "the answer". He banished the demons that occasionally afflict him, scoring, win every challenge and keeping Inter's backline occupied as a lone striker.

Il Messaggero: Dzeko 8

Great performance, a striker's goal (his fifth at the Olimpico) and a Totti-esque ball for Bruno Peres. He made every ball count. Perfect.

Il Tempo: Dzeko 7.5

He got in front at the near post and sidefooted into the far corner, before working hard to help his team. He never let up.

Tuttosport: Dzeko 7.5

A fifth goal of the campaign and his best performance in a Roma shirt. Quality contribution as an attacking playmaker and made his presence count in certain situations.
