Dzeko's scoring has Roma roaring in Europa League

Roma's Edin Dzeko fired his second straight Europa League hat-trick in Thursday's 4-0 away win at Villarreal to edge closer to his all-time season record and give his team a timely boost ahead of Sunday's visit by Torino.

Dzeko, who also notched a hat-trick against Viktoria Plzen in November, took the match ball home to give to his daughter after taking his Europa League-leading tally to eight goals.

Also tied with Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain at the top of Serie A with 18 league goals, and with two from the Italian Cup, the Bosnia striker now has 28 overall - only one short of his all-time record of 29, set at Wolfsburg in 2009-10.
