ROME :Goals from Mario Hermoso and Artem Dovbyk earned AS Roma a 2-1 home win over Parma in Serie A on Wednesday, keeping Gian Piero Gasperini's side level on points with leaders Napoli.

Roma and Napoli both have 21 points after nine rounds. Parma are 15th with seven points.

Instead, it took until the 63rd minute for Roma to break through, as Hermoso rose unchallenged to head in from a corner and give his side the lead.

Dovbyk doubled Roma’s lead nine minutes from time, reacting quickest to a rebound and smashing the ball into the net.
