Roma have moved up to third place in Serie A after second-half goals from Kostas Manolas, Daniele De Rossi and Lorenzo Pellegrin helped them to a 3-0 victory over Torino at the Stadio Olimpico.
The visitors came close with 18 minutes played when Cristian Ansaldi gained possession in the Roma box following a corner and let fly, but his strike went high and wide.
Torino piled men forward on the half-hour mark and almost broke the deadlock when Alex Berenguer's pass was struck towards goalwards by Iago Falque, forcing a reaction save out of Alisson between the Roma sticks.
Five minutes later, Falque's low pass into the box presented Andrea Belotti with a shooting opportunity, though the striker failed to hit the target under pressure.
Roma remained under the cosh for the remainder of the first period, with Alisson pulling off further saves to deny Afriyie Acquah in the 43rd minute and Falque one minute later, but the second half was a different story.
