Romelu Lukaku was on target to help AS Roma beat promoted Frosinone 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday and ease the pressure on coach Jose Mourinho after last week’s 4-1 drubbing at Genoa.
Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini also scored, with Paulo Dybala laying on both goals, for a win that lifts Roma to 12th with eight points from seven games.
Joint leaders Inter and AC Milan both have 18 points.
