How it happened

Lukaku continued to shine in front of goal, scoring his fourth goal in five games for the Giallorossi, as they beat the Canaries.

Despite Roma's bright start to the game, it was Frosinone who came close to scoring first when Marvin Cuni was played through on goal. The Albanian striker went around Rui Patricio successfully but failed to direct his shot into the frame of the goal.

Three minutes later, Roma punished Cuni's earlier miss when Dybala played Lukaku's through. The Chelsea loanee sat down his marker before firing into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Cuni was presented another chance to punish Roma, but the 22-year-old Bayern Munich academy graduate misfired.  

Dybala was a constant thorn in the side of Frosinone, effortlessly opening up their backline, and in no time, he soon grabbed his second assist of the game, setting up Lorenzo Pellegrini from a freekick late in the game to confirm maximum points for Jose Mourinho's men.
