Monday afternoon's 1-0 victory over Napoli kept Roma in the hunt for second place - and the Italian press have singled out one Giallorossi man for particular praise.
Let's see the marks out of ten from six of Italy's national dailies:
Il Corriere dello Sport: Wojciech Szczesny 7.5
"He's not consistent, he's not always 100% reliable but on days like these he's a keeper that can deal with anything. This time he saved twice from Gonzalo Higuain, bravely coming off his line and hurling himself at El Pipita's feet to get there first."
Il Corriere della Sera: Szczesny 7.5
“Two absolute wonder saves from Higuain, one in each half. And when the keeper didn't get there, Antonio Rudiger was on hand to make a desperate effort to keep out Marek Hamsik. Another year on loan? Why not."
La Gazzetta dello Sport: Szczesny 7.5
“Without Szczesny's two saves from Higuain, we'd be writing about a different game. Coolness personified from Maicon's back pass."
Il Messaggero: Szczesny 7.5
“Two beauties, one from Higuain in the first half and one in the second from the same player. The match winner? Absolutely. He also dealt well with other less threatening chances."
La Repubblica: Szczesny 7
“He turned into Superman after Higuain gave the Olimpico a fright, skinning Rudiger and Kostas Manolas. He was also equal to El Pipita's second burst."
Il Tempo: Szczesny 7.5
“The win was in a large part down to him. First a wonder save from Higuain, then he darted off his line to narrow the angle once again. Saves worth three points."
