Whilst Edin Dzeko continues to fire at all cylinders in 2018, the rise and rise of Cengiz Under since the turn of the year has truly been a bane for Roma. The departure of Mohammed Salah may have left a void, but the young Turkish sensation is fast growing into the man who could fill the same.

Together, the forwards have forged a fearsome striking partnership to bail out the Romans on so many occasions in the recent weeks. And against Napoli, the two once again combined to great effect and caused all sorts of headaches to the hosts, amassing three of their four goals on the night.

Dzeko and Under have now salvaged 10 points from the 14 that Roma have gathered in the 9 games this calendar year, showcasing how vital they have been to the club’s steady march towards the top. And whilst the attacking combination is no legendary stuff, it surely is propelling Roma back into the top three after a tough run in January.
