Mou's cousin cooks a perfect partnership: Abraham feeds Dybala for his first Roma goals

They've spent a fortune in the transfer window that's reaching the end; they've focused on bringing forwards; they've formed a new striker's partnership, Dybala-Abraham (and Belotti eagerly waiting for his chance on the bench). And it seems that AS Roma and their boss Jose Mourinho have done a tremendous job!

Almost all the credit for their third win in oppening four Serie A rounds (3-0 at home against Monza on Tuesday night) goes to the impeccable partnership of Tammy Abraham and Paulo Dybala. The latter netted a brace - his first goals for Giallorossi - which resulted from the former's actions in the final third.

Dybala put his name on the scoresheet for the first time 18 minutes into the game, following Abraham's wise pass, which the Argentinian exploited superbly with a solo run and second-to-none finishing.

Soon enough, the hosts doubled the lead, again through the former Juve forward, and again after Abraham's 'dirty work'. The ex-Blues striker fired nicely, albeit with one Monza's defender on his back, and after the visitors' keeper somehow managed to deny his effort, Dybala slid to put his team 2-0 up.

At that moment - it's the 32nd minute we're talking about - the fixture was basically killed, with Monza - a Serie A basement club - unable to fight back.

The second half saw a pretty dull game, as Roma sat back a little and waited for their chance from counter-attacks. Still, the third goal came after a corner kick from the left. Pellegrini launched a sharp cross, finding Ibanez near the spot to remove any suspense from the tie.

Anything but relentless, Nerazzurri didn't impress in front of the home fans on Tuesday night against Cremonese yet managed to seal a comfortable 3-0 win.

Without Lukaku - who watched the tie from the stands - the home team had lots of troubles in the attack before Correa broke the deadlock near the 10-minute mark.

The course of the match remained the same despite that early lead, at least until the second one - Barella nailed a screamer! It was a sensational kick following Calhanoglu's cross from the left.

Finally, Lautaro Martinez knocked the visitors with his first goal and Inter's third goal of the match some 15 minutes before the final whistle. Okereke only managed to net his second Serie A goal for a tolerable 3-1 loss for the minnows.
