Edin Dzeko netted his 30th goal of the season in all competitions as Roma won at relegation-threatened Palermo to reclaim second place.

Roma reclaimed second place in Serie A from Napoli with a 3-0 win at Palermo on Sunday, courtesy of goals from Stephan El Shaarawy, Edin Dzeko and Bruno Peres.

Napoli beat Crotone earlier in the day to leapfrog the Giallorossi, but Luciano Spalletti's men hit back with victory in a clash where they were well matched for long periods in Sicily.

Palermo thought they had taken an early lead when Ilija Nestorovski's hopeful shot squirmed past Wojciech Szczesny at his near post, but their celebrations were cut short by the offside flag.
