Serie A Recap: Lazio's Five-Star Performance Against Como, Roma Quiets Boos

Juric had a heated confrontation with his players following their disappointing 5-1 loss to Fiorentina last weekend. To make matters worse, the team was met with boos from their own fans ahead of Thursday's game.

Former Torino boss Juric joined Roma in September after the sacking of Daniele De Rossi.

His tactics paid off on Thursday as Paulo Dybala, playing as a "false nine", rounded the 'keeper on 20 minutes to slot home the only goal from a tight angle.

In the day's early match, Fiorentina followed up their weekend drubbing of Roma with a 1-0 victory at rock-bottom Genoa to climb fourth, six points behind leaders Napoli.
