Roma and Napoli both have 21 points after nine rounds. Parma is 15th with seven points.

Roma thought it had taken the lead through Matias Soule just before the break, but the goal was ruled out for offside after it was deemed a teammate had obstructed Parma keeper Zion Suzuki’s view.

Instead, it took until the 63rd minute for Roma to break through, as Hermoso rose unchallenged to head in from a corner and give his side the lead.

Dovbyk doubled Roma’s lead nine minutes from time, reacting quickest to a rebound and smashing the ball into the net.

Parma added late drama when Circati pulled one back in the 86th minute, but the visitor ran out of time to find an equaliser.
