Here are some notable numbers from the win that rubber-stamped fifth place for the Giallorossi…
Amadou Diawara’s penalty to make the score 3-1 saw the 23-year-old open his goalscoring account for Roma with the Guinea international’s first successful spot-kick of his career.
Carles Perez - who scored a maiden Serie A goal for Roma in the 6-1 win over SPAL just over a week ago - notched his third league assist in supplying Chris Smalling’s header, which was also the Englishman’s third goal for the club.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s sublime assist for Edin Dzeko’s equaliser was not only his fifth provision of the season, but it also means the Armenian playmaker has been involved in five goals (scored three, set up two) across his last six matches.
Bryan Cristante is yet to taste defeat in his career against Torino from six games (W4, D2) and has been on the winning side on each of his last four meetings with the team from Turin.
In securing fifth place on Wednesday, Roma ensured a seventh consecutive season of European football next term with a victory that also takes their unbeaten run to seven matches.
Roma have now scored 12 headed goals this season, a return only bettered by Atalanta (14) and Inter Milan (19).
Aleksandar Kolarov’s first-half free-kick that struck the outside of the Torino post was the 21st time Roma have been denied by the woodwork this season, with only Napoli (24) hitting the framework more often.
This was the Giallorossi’s 74th victory over Torino in all competitions and 64th in Serie A, both of which are club records for wins over a single side.
Edin Dzeko now has 16 Serie A goals so far this season and his strike against Torino took the Roma captain to 106 goals in yellow and red, moving him equal fourth with Rodolfo Volk on Roma’s all-time top scorer list behind only Amedeo Amadei (111), Roberto Pruzzo (138) and Francesco Totti (307).
Roma - who saw Smalling rise superbly to head home Perez’s inviting 23rd minute corner - have won 261 corners this season, more than any team in Serie A.
