Borja Mayoral bagged a brace, including a ferocious strike from distance into the top corner, as Roma ran riot against Crotone.
The Spaniard was centre-stage, as he scored two goals and earned the penalty converted by Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Crotone got one back after the break through Vladimir Golemic’s free header and were unlucky not to add another, denied by the Bruno Peres goal-line clearance.
