Edin Dzeko scores as Roma hand Juventus second straight defeat
Roma picked up their first win of the new season on Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico with a 2-1 victory over 10-man Juventus to send the defending champions crashing to a second straight defeat.
Miralem Pjanic, denied by the post in the opening half, gave the hosts a deserved lead with a powerful free-kick in the 61st minute.
After Juve had Patrice Evra sent off for a second yellow card with 12 minutes remaining, Roma made them pay seconds later when Manchester City's on-loan striker Edin Dzeko headed in Iago Falque's cross for his first Serie A goal.
Paulo Dybala reduced the arrears with three minutes remaining but Juve did not find the equaliser despite having chances to do so.
Juve had suffered a surprise 1-0 setback at home to Udinese in their Serie A opener last week while Roma, who finished a distant second to the Turin giants last season, were held to a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona.
