Dzeko to the rescue for Roma

MILAN - Edin Dzeko came off the bench to notch his 20th goal of the campaign as Roma moved back up to second in Serie A on Sunday with a crucial 3-0 win at struggling Palermo.

Dzeko now sits two behind leading scorer Andrea Belotti, who will look to add to his tally of 22 for Torino at Lazio on Monday.

Dzeko's 76th-minute strike put the match beyond reach of the Sicilians and got Roma back to winning ways after a recent rough patch featuring three defeats spread over the Italian Cup, league and Europa League.
