Paulo Dybala took center stage in Monday's Serie A game as his first hat-trick for Roma helped the Giallorossi edge past Torino 3-2 on home turf.
Roma were coming off a Europa League play-off win in which they eliminated Feyenoord on penalties, and went ahead in Monday's game in the 42nd minute with Dybala's spot-kick, though Duvan Zapata equalized moments later.
The home side restored the lead in the 57th minute as Dybala unleashed a stunner that flew into the corner, and a few minutes later, Romelu Lukaku laid the ball off for 'La Joya' to complete his hat-trick.
Despite Dean Huijsen's own goal in the dying minutes, Roma held on to register their third consecutive win that consolidates their sixth place.
