Serie A

Roma restored the six-point gap to Serie A leaders Juventus on Sunday, largely thanks to an excellent display from star striker Edin Dzeko.

Edin Dzeko produced a goal and an assist as Roma kept pace with Serie A leaders Juventus by comfortably overcoming Bologna 3-0 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

Dzeko added to first-half strikes from Federico Fazio and Mohamed Salah as Luciano Spalletti's side moved six points adrift of Juventus, who had temporarily extended their lead at the summit by beating Chievo 2-0 on Saturday.

It was far from a routine victory for Roma, however, as they laboured in the second half before Dzeko's 24th goal of the Serie A campaign secured all three points 15 minutes from time.
