Making his starting debut since joining the club last month, Ola Solbakken fired Roma to third in the Serie A table level on points with Milan.
The Norwegian's perfectly placed finish in the final moments of the first half was all the Giallorossi to secure all three points against Hellas Verona, snapping the Venetian side's four-match unbeaten run.
It's a much-needed win for the Giallorossi who were without first-choice attacking trio Lorenzo Pellegrini, top scorer Paulo Dybala, and Tammy Abraham, who was injured just minutes into the match.
Despite missing all three pieces, Jose Mourinho's men still created plenty of attacking opportunities thanks primarily to Stephan El Shaarawy and Leonardo Spinazzola.
In arguably his most impressive performance since returning from a torn Achilles, Spinazzola caused Verona major problems down the left flank throughout the match.
The Italian international ended the game with 1 big chance created, 4 successful dribbles, and 2 key passes.
