Dzeko still on top as Roma, Milan nudge Juventus

Edin Dzeko took his Serie A scoring lead to eight goals in nine games as Roma outclassed Palermo 4-1 to reclaim second spot and move to within two points off leaders Juventus on Sunday.

Roma had dropped to third after AC Milan stunned champions Juventus 1-0 on Saturday when teenaged midfielder Manuel Locatelli beat Gianluigi Buffon with a second-half scorcher. But Luciano Spalletti's men had no problem joining fellow scudetto hopefuls in capitalising on Juve's rare slip, the Giallorossi wowing fans with a well-oiled attacking performance that kept them firmly in the title chase.
