Roma moved up to fifth after a comfortable win, with Lorenz Pellegrini turning in a corner to open the scoring after just two minutes.

Dybala doubled the advantage in the 23rd minute and all but ended the match as a contest six minutes into the second half, scoring from the penalty spot after Andrea Petagna handled in the box.

In Spain, a first-half brace from Youssef En-Nesyri saw Sevilla win 2-1 at Rayo Vallecano, earning only their fourth league win of the season to give themselves a three-point cushion above the relegation zone.
